WDH has a key role to play in tackling climate change, both at a regional and a national level. As the largest provider of social housing in the Wakefield district, we have a responsibility to ensure that our housing stock is as energy efficient as possible, with our tenants fully aware of the issues surrounding climate change and what they can do to help tackle it.
We will calculate our carbon footprint on an annual basis. A "carbon footprint" means the total amount of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that are emitted over the full life cycle of a product, service or building (in this case, our whole organisation). By calculating this, through our Climate Change Strategy, we will deliver a series of actions over the next eight years to ensure we are a carbon neutral organisation by 2016.
For further information on how we are tackling climate change please call the energy hotline, you can also email us or read on to find out more. |
