Carbon Trust's Carbon Management Programme

Volume 471: debated on Wednesday 30 January 2008

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales whether his Department has adopted the Carbon Trust's Carbon Management Programme. (182940)

My Department has not adopted the Carbon Trust's Carbon Management Programme.

As a small Department we have taken full advantage of the Carbon Trust's small and medium sized Business Toolkit. This resulted in a full Carbon Trust survey and follow up action plan in 2006. All actions points raised have been implemented together

with the introduction of a robust recycling programme.

My Department offset 307.70 tonnes of emissions, through PURE, the Clean Planet Trust, in 2006-07.

The Wales Office is currently establishing a sustainable development strategy to further assist in further reducing emissions.
