Criteria

Four-tier criteria
First tier criteria met if, using the councils' own reporting mechanisms, there has been a reduction of scope 1 and 2 emissions when comparing 2019 to 2022 (or financial years 2018/19 to 2022/23) data equal to or greater than 5% and lower than 10%.

Second tier criteria met if the emissions reduction has been greater than or equal to 10% and lower than 20%,

Third-tier criteria met if the reduction has been greater than or equal to 20% and lower than 40%.

Fourth-tier criteria met if the emission reduction has been greater than or equal to 40%.

We recognise that there is currently no standard way that all councils use to report on emissions. We will score councils' own calculations, despite the differences, as long as they fulfill the requirements in 3a.

Clarifications

Exact emission figures must be published so we are able to calculate/verify the decrease. For example, a stand alone overall percentage decrease number or a graph where you can’t read the actual figures is not valid.

Scope 1 emissions are greenhouse gas emissions that an organisation owns or controls directly, such as fuel burnt from council vehicles.

Scope 2 emissions are greenhouse gas emissions that an organisation produces indirectly when they purchase and use energy, such as the emissions created from the electricity the council buys to heat its offices.
