Net Zero Carbon Delivery Strategy

BTP has a Net Zero Carbon Delivery Strategy with a target date of 2035.

Many initiatives to decarbonise the Force are already underway, with others on medium/longer term timelines.  

Personal Empowerment

We have established a group of Net Zero Ambassadors to foster idea generation, develop knowledge to encourage colleagues to become more sustainable in everyday habits.

The introduction of an EV salary sacrifice scheme to reduce emissions from commutes making a big impact on the decarbonisation plan.

Sustainability learning and awareness package available to all colleagues to support ‘buy in’ to our vision and communicate that we are an employer who cares about climate change.
