Purpose:

Content: 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.
