Commitment to achieving Net Zero

Ravenscare Limited is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2040.

At Ravenscare Limited we are fully committed to achieving net zero across all areas of our business. We recognise the urgent need to address climate change and take responsibility for our environmental impact. With this commitment, we aim to minimise our carbon footprint and contribute to a sustainable future.

To achieve net zero, we will adopt an approach that encompasses key strategies across our services.

•             We will assess and monitor our current emissions, setting clear reduction targets t measure our progress

•             We will  invest    in energy-efficient technologies,  renewable energy sources, and   sustainable infrastructure to minimize our operational carbon emissions

•             We will prioritise sustainable procurement practices, ensuring that our supply chain aligns with our commitment to net zero

•             We will work closely with our suppliers to encourage responsible sourcing and reduce the               environmental impact of our products and services

•             We will engage and educate our employees, clients, and stakeholders about the importance of sustainability

By promoting awareness and encouraging sustainable practices, we will create a culture of environmental responsibility within our social care business.

Through these concerted efforts, we will strive to achieve net zero and be a leader in the transition to a greener, more sustainable social care service.

We will regularly review and improve our practices to ensure ongoing progress towards our net zero goals.

As a provider we have not had any previous emissions reduction targets or commitments.

As a result, as part of our commitment to achieving Net Zero, we aim to aspire to achieve the following carbon reduction target:

We aim to reduce our overall footprint and as a result our carbon emissions will reduce substantially over the next five years to tCO2e by 2027/28.

This (if achieved as planned) will deliver a substantial reduction of 10 % with the aim to reach net zero carbon by 2030.

In addition to the changes, we aim to deliver in our work environments, practices and workforce. We also aim to compensate for all our generated emissions, including those from essential and unavoidable travel, by investing in carbon-reduction projects that are certified to international standards.

Progress against these targets can be seen in the graph below:

Carbon Reduction Projects

Completed Carbon Reduction Initiatives

As part of our overall Carbon Reduction Plan, we sought staff involvement in a number of initial projects that can support us with both getting our message across, but also give us a head start on seeing the benefits of such measures in a short space of time.

This initial drive also included our messaging that our projects can be taken from the workplace to the home environment to spread our carbon reduction message amongst our teams.
