More recently, we’ve been busy working with the firm on a science-based Net Zero Plan that will help them reduce 50% of their emissions by 2030 and reach Net Zero by 2050. As part of that process, we’ve produced a carbon reduction report to highlight all the changes the company can make to their buildings, business travel, waste management and supply chain so their environmental impact keeps improving year-on-year. NORTH SOMERSET COUNCIL In 2023, North Somerset Council launched the Net Zero Business Grants programme that provides grants of up to £30,000 to help local organisations install environmental technology on their premises. Future Leap was asked to create fully-funded, bespoke carbon reports and evidence- based recommendations for a number of organisations to help them apply for the scheme. Here’s just a few of the groups we’re proud to have worked with on this initiative. YMCA CLEVEDON, CLEVEDON YMCA Clevedon want to increase their financial self- sufficiency by renting out their sports hall as an events space. The problem? It’s currently too cold to use in winter. We visited the site and suggested adding more insulation to the building and replacing the hall’s gas-fired heaters with underfloor heating and an efficient air-to-water heat pump. 43
