Creating A Plan For Carbon Reduction

“We are clear there is a very real Climate Emergency which will require immediate and radical action by everyone, and our charity is not exempt from this,” said P3 CEO Mark Simms.

“We believe, based on the facts we know today, alongside the overwhelming and growing evidence provided by modern science, that it would be a breach of our duties as directors of the charity to continue as though there is not a Climate Emergency.

“As the individuals ultimately accountable for our organisation, it is our responsibility to act in the interest of our stakeholders: the people we work alongside, our staff, our volunteers, and every single person in the communities we serve, to take action: starting now.”

“The truth is: the natural world is changing. And we are totally dependent on that world. It provides our food, water and air. It is the most precious thing we have and we need to defend it.”

So said David Attenborough, the famous biologist and naturalist. But what does this mean for us?

Here at P3, we work hard for everyone to have a safe pl ace to live But what of the pl ace where we all live, home to all people, animals and pl ants –Pl anet Earth?

We take that seriously too!

P3 have now developed a Carbon Reduction Plan, with the intention of achieving Net Zero* by 2050.

(Net Zero means taking action to reduce emissions and absorb carbon dioxide until your greenhouse gases are completely cancelled out.)

To do this, we’re working with carbon solutions company Auditel. As one of the first steps, Auditel has completed a Carbon Footprint Report so we can get a proper understanding of our carbon emissions: what we do that produces them and how we can reduce them.

We have, in fact, already worked with Auditel for several years to find the best, and greenest, energy suppliers as we acquire more properties.

Alan Ford, Carbon Specialist at Auditel, added: “P3 do a huge amount of good work within local communities and now we are working with them to ensure this good work continues with minimal impact on our planet.

“The emphasis is moving towards energy management, reducing consumption, renewable energy and improved monitoring and control.”

The importance – and possibility – of making a difference is something we understand well at P3. We intend to keep on doing all we can to make a difference to the Earth – everyone’s home for life.
