WHY?
•
•
•
•
The MCC Environmental and Climate Change Strategy set a target to reduce the
Council’s emission by 41% by 2020 (set in 2010)
We recognised that reducing carbon emissions in our operational estate was key to
achieving our targets; that a proactive approach was required
‘Our Manchester’ strategy recognises the importance of reducing our impact on the
environment and improving the quality of residents' lives by having a clean, green City
Reducing carbon emissions support a sustainable MCC both in terms of our green
credentials and financial sustainability.
