See Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inclusions and Exclusions 28kb report for further details.

7. Geographic break down

The figures relate to UK emissions only, Hampshire County Council have no business interests outside of the UK.

8. Base Year

Our base year is 2009/10. The figures for this base year were collected using the NI 185 reporting criteria (the figures have been reconfigured in to this new Greenhouse Gas Emissions reporting format).

9. Targets

The County Council’s carbon reduction strategy aims to reduce its carbon emissions by 20% by 2015 from 2008 levels. This includes all emissions in Scopes 1 & 2 and business travel from Scope 3.

The Assistant Director, Culture, Community and Business Services, is responsible for the delivery of the targets set by the County Council

10. Intensity measurement

The intensity measurement is Tonnes of CO₂e per m² of the estate as this is the most appropriate way to measure the intensity for the public sector.

11. External Assurance Statement

The County Council is part of the mandatory CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme which is audited by the Environment Agency as part of its compliance responsibilities.
