Context

The climate and environment crisis is the defining challenge of our generation. NRC recognises our own responsibility to minimise harm to the environment caused by our greenhouse gas emissions and direct impact of our programmes on the local environment. A Strategic Enabler: “Reduced Environmental Footprint” is part of NRC’s Global Strategy 2022-25.

An important factor for NRC to achieve our objectives is monitoring our environmental impact and providing data that can track our progress and inform decisions to reduce emissions. NRC has calculated a baseline emissions footprint for 2019 based on the international GHG Protocol and now needs to move forward with regular monitoring, reporting and communication of data. Understanding our baseline has enabled us to be strategic, think creatively and prioritise our efforts to reduce our carbon footprint. Utilising many different systems as centralised data sources, we aim to creatively minimise impact of data collection on our country teams. Looking forward, we want to improve and innovate to develop areas of environmental impact data such as for waste, procurement, and transportation to inform action.
