The SDC’s key commentary, challenges & recommendations
Carbon from offices has shown an upward trend primarily due to the increasing size of DfID’s operations in the UK. DfID is currently planning a number of initiatives that will enable it to move towards meeting the 2010/2011 target, including virtualisation of its computer services, using tri-generation CHP and subletting of offices currently not
required. However, CESP predicts that these are unlikely to be sufficient. The large reduction in water consumption in 2008/2009 was due to the
implementation of waterless urinals and dual flush technology. Further decreases are forecast through schemes to implement rainwater harvesting and water-saving plumbing.
Summary of departmental feedback
DfID stated that whilst the headline figure for carbon emissions from buildings suggests that it is performing poorly, this is largely attributable to a significant period of growth in the organisation over the last ten years. DfID reiterates its commitment to improvement in this area as demonstrated by the number of initiatives already implemented which
have resulted in a reduction in carbon emissions. DfID also has more actions planned, such as a biomass boiler, wind turbine and a green roof. Furthermore, DfID is also looking at improving its performance, monitoring and
measurement indicators for procurement activities, and has committed to ensure that sustainability issues are addressed.

DfID was set up to meet the many challenges of tackling world poverty. It is DfID’s job to make sure every pound of British aid works its hardest to help the world’s poor. DFID is working to reach the Millennium Development Goals, international targets agreed by the United Nations (UN) to halve world poverty by 2015. DfID works with governments of developing countries, charities, businesses and international bodies, including the World Bank, the UN agencies and the European
Commission to promote sustainable development and reduce poverty.

Department for Transport (DfT)
Over the three year period, DfT
•
managed to maintain a 4 star rating for its operations, while at the same time increasing to 3 stars for the mandated mechanisms and increasing to the maximum 5 star rating for the SPAP commitments.
DfT has a leading role to play in
•
Government by helping to provide knowledge and expertise to other departments on how to reduce the impacts of their travel, including carbon emissions. This is why the SDC is concerned to see DfT is not yet on track to meet the vehicle emissions target, and would like to continue developing a working relationship with DfT in order to find better ways of improving its performance, as well as getting DfT to help other departments do the same. The SDC understands that DfT is
•
developing a much broader carbon management strategy. For example, the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) is re-writing its fleet policy to deliver the CO2 emissions target. DVLA’s online vehicle excise duty system has been cited to the SDC as an example of a way to reduce overall travel (although it increases DVLA’s own office emissions
as it requires additional resources). The SDC acknowledges that DfT is
•
working with its IT service provider to deliver the Greening ICT Government Strategy and has already delivered 39% of the commitments.
The SDC would like to highlight the
•
work carried out in DfT’s Executive Agencies, as they contribute 92% of the overall reported energy consumption, with the core Department only consuming 8%. For example, during 2008/2009 the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) developed their 2009- 2010 Sustainable Development Action Plan (SDAP) which commits them to reaching level 5 in one of the strands of the Sustainable Procurement Flexible Framework (SPFF) in addition to working with Theory Test providers to develop and publish their own SDAP. DfT has managed to continually
•
improve its excellent performance on reducing waste arisings. In addition the Department has also maintained excellent recycling rates, although a slightly smaller percentage is being recycled year on year. The SDC hopes that this downward trend does not continue.
