These results demonstrate the positive impact of renewable energy investment across our estate. Variations between sites reflect factors such as roof size, structural capacity and the proportion of electricity demand that can be met through solar generation.
Despite estate growth and increased operational activity, our Scope 2 emissions reduced from 55.17 tonnes in 2024 to 42.26 tonnes in 2025, highlighting the effectiveness of the solar programme.
In addition, the closure of CHR in November 2025 is expected to deliver a further significant and permanent reduction in emissions from 2026 onwards.
Phase 1 represents a major milestone in our sustainability journey. The solar programme is projected to generate approximately £247,140 in cumulative savings over 25 years, while delivering substantial environmental benefits and supporting our commitment to responsible stewardship.
As we move into the next stages of our Net Zero Strategy, we will continue to identify opportunities to reduce emissions, improve energy efficiency and strengthen our contribution to a more sustainable future.
Together, these actions are helping to drive St Martin of Tours towards its 2030 carbon reduction targets and our goal of achieving Net Zero by 2035.
