RESOLVED: Cabinet;
a)   
Agreed to publish the annual sustainability report
for 2023/24
b)   
Noted that the report is retrospective and is not
making any new commitments
 
REASONS RESOLVED:
·      
The council recognises the climate emergency and the
importance of being transparent with residents and showcasing our
sustainability achievements without green washing.
·      
Making the report publicly available shows
accountability and reinforces the Council’s commitment to the
2030 net zero target and will help set the format for work towards
the 2045 target.
 
ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS:
The report is a factual summary
of work completed during the course of the last financial year, it
is therefore not deemed to be contentious as it is not making
recommendations, rather reporting on progress already
made.
