Reducing CO2 emissions
Annual Carbon Report
Since 2012, we’ve produced a carbon report each year.
It provides a transparent, year-on-year account of progress made to reduce carbon emissions from our operations and Haringey as a whole.
The report includes annual carbon budgets. This enables us to understand and account for our carbon emissions. Carbon budgets work in much the same way as financial budgets.

Reducing carbon emissions through planning applications
We, and 4 other London Boroughs, commissioned a report from London Energy Transformation Initiative (external link).
The report provides evidence on the potential to achieve greater carbon reductions on site through new development. The report was finalised in May 2020.

3 main issues
The report addresses 3 main issues:
- Ability to achieve the zero-carbon target on site for a range of development categories.
- Appropriateness of the current carbon offsetting approach.
- How the carbon offsetting price can encourage greater carbon reductions on site.
New Local Plan
The report will form part of the evidence base for our New Local Plan.
We are considering how we can implement the report’s recommendations in Haringey. We will seek feedback from stakeholders as part of engagement on the New Local Plan.
