Leading By Example

External reporting on our sustainability targets is important for transparency and accountability. The council will report on progress annually. The reports will include:

• Carbon emissions – for both the Council (and its investments) and the borough, and showing how this is performing against target.
• Water usage for the borough and the Council.
• Biodiversity – initially this will relate to the amount of green space managed for nature and the canopy cover. Once the new biodiversity strategy is developed with an appropriate metric related to the ecological emergency and how it can be addressed in Watford, we will incorporate that into this strategy.
• Waste.
• Progress on delivery plan.
