Measuring emissions IR’s emissions base year is 2018/19. Our 2023/24 emissions results for the mandatory emission sources as defined by the CNGP are summarised in the table below.
Reduction targets We set our emissions reduction targets in 2022, covering the mandatory emission sources as defined by the CNGP. We are targeting reductions of 43% by 2025 and 50% by 2030, against our base year of 2018–19.
Our plan IR’s emissions reduction initiatives have largely focused on areas where there is an existing government requirement including transitioning to a fully electric vehicle (EV) fleet, enhancing the energy efficiency of the sites we occupy and minimising office waste.
