Quantification and Reporting Methodology

We have followed the HM Government Environmental Reporting Guidelines.

Intensity Measurement

The chosen intensity measurement ratio is total gross emissions in metric tonnes CO2e per staff member (1,100), the recommended ratio for the sector. Measures taken to improve energy efficiency during the year have been set out in the College’s Sustainability Annual Report
