Energy and environment
Reducing carbon emissions, reusing furniture, and recycling our waste is just the beginning of our goal to become more environmentally aware.
We are developing our Net Zero approach to meet Scottish Government Targets and this includes critical investment in renewable energy sources and lifting our building standards to Passiv Haus and EnerPHit.
Day to day energy and environment activities include increasing our recycling rates, re-use of furniture and our free-shop for previously loved items, plus allotments and green travel initiatives.
