West Midlands Greener Together Forum - June 2022

Energy Confidence

This month, some of our senior managers attended a workshop led by Phil Beardmore from Energy Confidence to kick off a 2 year project to review, develop and implement JERICHO's new carbon reduction plan.

We looked at existing scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, as well defining success factors and potential barriers to change.

We also enjoyed a very tasty vegetarian lunch made entirely from surplus food by Changekitchen.
