Tracking & Reporting
Our actions are part of the solution.
What gets measured gets managed
Tracking and reporting sustainability actions are critical components for Redbourn to measure our environmental impact and uphold our social responsibility. One of the primary benefits of tracking sustainability actions is the ability to measure progress against established goals.
Redbourn collect data in all below areas, identifying areas for improvement and enabling us to implement targeted strategies to enhance our sustainability performance:
- Energy use
- Waste production
- Water consumption
- Carbon emissions
-
Energy Use
Measuring energy usage is fundamental for us to enhance operational efficiency, reduce costs, and minimise environmental impact. Understanding how and where energy is used can lead to significantly improved resource management.
We measure:
- Total energy consumption (kWh), renewable energy percentage, or energy intensity (kWh per square metre).
-
Carbon Emissions
Measuring carbon emissions is essential for us to understand our environmental impact and take meaningful steps toward net zero. As concerns about climate change intensify, we understand that we must be accountable for our carbon footprint.
We measure:
- Total carbon footprint (tCO₂e), Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions breakdown.
-
Water Usage
As water scarcity becomes an increasingly pressing global issue due to climate change, population growth, and industrial demands, understanding and managing water consumption is essential to supporting the local community.
We measure:
- Total abstraction (m³), mains water use, and efficiency per hectare.
-
Waste Management
As environmental concerns and regulatory pressures increase, understanding and managing waste generation and disposal practices have significant benefits.
We measure:
- Recycling rates, waste to landfill (tonnes), and hazardous waste disposal.
-
Biodiversity
Biodiversity encompasses the variety of life on our courses, including ecosystems, species, and genetic diversity, and it plays a vital role in supporting ecosystem services that are essential for human survival and well-being.
We measure:
- Number of protected species, area of natural habitat managed, or number of trees planted.
-
Chemical Use
Chemicals are used throughout our business, especially on our golf courses, so by measuring this our aim is to promote safety, sustainability, and regulatory compliance.
We measure:
- Quantity and type of fertilisers, pesticides, and herbicides applied.
