National Records of Scotland (NRS) recognises that climate change will have a far reaching impact on the environment and the economy. NRS is committed to playing its part in the challenge of contributing to the targets set in the Climate Change Scotland Act 2009 and the commitments under the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme in reducing our carbon emissions over time.
The NRS Carbon Management Plan is the document which defines the steps our organisation will take to contribute to the achievement of these outcomes. This plan sets out key activities and projects that will enable us to reduce our carbon emissions and meet the targets we have set for the next five years.
It captures our baseline carbon emissions in the starting year for this plan of 2010-11 and includes energy efficiency projects over the life of this plan which are both technical and behavioural and following implementation will collectively work towards us achieving our carbon emissions reduction target of 20% by 2015-16 financial year.
