Our carbon audit

Information about our level of greenhouse gas emissions and our current carbon audit

Our carbon audit report

Our carbon audits cover the financial year and are reported on a yearly basis. We use Official Department of Business Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) greenhouse gas reporting conversion factors to calculate our emissions.

Here at the Borough Council of King's Lynn & West Norfolk:

  • The base year for our audit is 2009/2010. This is the earliest data that we have available to us. Our emissions have reduced by 65.5% from our base year.
  • We started an annual carbon audit programme in 2018/2019. Previous greenhouse gas emissions were reported until 2014/2015, in line with earlier guidance.
  • We emitted 2,537.40 tonnes of CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalent) in the 2023/2024 financial year. This is an 2.6% reduction from our 2022/2023 audit.
