Dear Sir,
I refer to your Freedom of Information request dated the 4^th March, 2022.
Please find below/attached the Authority’s response to your request:-
Questions:-
1. How much CO2e does the Council produce under Scopes 1, 2 and 3?
2. How often does the Council calculate your Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions?
Annually as of 2021
3. Which of the Council’s activities are included in your Scope 3
emissions calculations?
4. What is the estimated financial budget to meet your Net Zero/Carbon
Neutral target?
5. How much has been spent to date in reaching your Net Zero/Carbon
Neutral target?
6. How are you financing this investment?
Response:-
The Isle of Anglesey County Council has recently adopted the “Towards Net
Zero Plan, 2022-2025 ”(copy attached). This document outlines actions the
Authority had identified to start the journey to achieve net zero carbon
status by 2030, and provides information relevant to the questions in this
FOI. As an identified priority in the ‘Towards Net Zero Plan’ work is now
underway to quantify the Councils baseline across scopes 1, 2 and 3 in
accordance with Welsh Government guidance. Once the emissions baseline has
been established, it will help us to prioritise actions to reduce our
carbon emissions across the Authority as we implement the Towards Net Zero
Plan and work to become a net zero Council.
If you are dissatisfied with any aspect of this response to your request
for information, and / or the decision made to withhold information, you
may ask for an internal review. Please address your correspondence to the
Customer Care Officer, Legal Services, Council Offices, Llangefni, Ynys
Môn LL77 7TW (e-mail: [1][email address]). The Council is not
obligated to undertake internal reviews which do not satisfy the
requirements of the Code of Practice issued under section 45 of the
Freedom of Information Act 2000. Your request for an internal review will
be considered in accordance with the Code and you will be informed of the
Council’s decision as soon as possible.
If you are not content with the outcome of any internal review you have
the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner, Wycliffe
House, Water Lane, Wilmslow SK9 5AF. Please note that the Information
Commissioner is likely to expect internal review procedures to have been
exhausted before beginning his investigation
