2021/2022 Outcome

EO 1

Raise awareness of mileage and time saved by undertaking virtual meetings during lockdown and encourage this to continue

a)    Reduce number of journeys undertaken to attend meetings face to face

b)    Increase number of meetings undertaken via Teams/video conferencing

Clear culture change in terms of meetings carried out on Teams. Many meetings are now hybrid with half attending in person and half via Teams.   

EO 2

Increase number of Biodiversity Projects undertaken Service wide in relation to the BAP 2020-23 both internally and externally

a)    Increase number of collaborations with external partners on Projects

b)    Report and Monitor any Biodiversity Projects

c)     

A number of collaborations with external partners to encourage biodiversity to our Station sites.

EO 3

Monitor water consumption on Service Premises and install water saving devices where possible

a)    Research water saving devices to install on Service locations

b)    Encourage water reuse for training where possible

Installation of water saving devices on the facilities is completed on a working schedule.

Rainwater harvesting schemes being considered on Stations

EO 4

Raise awareness of Carbon emissions through use of Smart technology to encourage behaviour change. To decrease electricity consumption on 2019/2020.

a)    Undertaken exercise to monitor Carbon Emissions Service wide.

b)    Consider technology on high use location.

c)    Decrease electricity consumption on 2019/20 baseline.

Audit Wales external review at the end of 2021.

Welsh Government Net Zero Carbon Reporting.

SPECIFIC/WG funding for Smart Stations – Morriston Station to be used as an exemplar site.

Electricity consumption 7% decrease on 2019/2020.

EO 5

Encourage and raise awareness on Stations to reduce and reuse waste in the first instance and highlight waste produced in each Command. To reduce Dry Mixed recycling by 2% on 2019/20

a)    Circulate Station and Division Waste Statistics for discussion

b)    Monitor SUP Bottle consumption to ensure reduction year on year

c)    Reduce DMR by 2% on 2019/20 baseline

39% reduction in purchase of SUP bottles on 2020 baseline

Waste stats circulated to Divisions for discussion

DMR increased by 51% on 2019/2020 baseline. Not a true reflection due to baseline year occurring during lockdown.

EO 6

Increase the number of electric vehicle and charge points in more rural areas of the Service from 2019/20 baseline

a)    Increase the number of EV’s implemented into the Pool Fleet.

b)    Collaborate with external partners to increase charging infrastructure.

c)    Increase number of charging points installed on Service locations.

27 EV’s currently implemented into fleet.

9 Service locations with multiple charging points at each location.

23, twin chargers Service wide.

Part of a number of external ULEV meetings.
