comment on your net zero targets

We are determined to continue reducing our carbon emissions year on year and we're actively investigating ways to reduce our Scope 3 emissions which make up the largest % of our overall emissions.

Comment on your energy consumption

*

We're pleased to see that the changes we have already made have made a significant impact to our Scope 2 emissions totals. We hope to move our large meter over to 100% green electricity and install a few batteries to capture excess solar generation that we are currently sending back to the grid.

List any sources of emissions excluded:

*

we haven't excluded any but the form won't save without me completing this bit. The 86% relates to our guests travel to our property and their travel around Cornwall whilst on holiday.

Outsourced to carbon foot-printing consulting support (SustainAbility), accuracy based on data given and latest available factors online. Data collection techniques to be improved for future measurements.

are you investing in climate and/or nature outside your value chain?

*

Yes

provide details of the project/s you invest in:

*

We invest in projects that we can manage ourselves within our own garden spaces. We do not use herbicides or pesticides in any of our gardens or grounds. We have a flock of chickens to help keep the bugs down and recently purchased some ladybugs to tackle a greenfly issue we had with some new tress. We have created 2 wildflower meadows on previously grassed areas. We have a flock of rare breed sheep and 2 retired racehorses who help us to keep the fields trimmed and allows a wide range of wildflowers to grow and disperse. Our animals generate manure for us to use in the gardens, for mulching and adding good bacteria and nutrients into the soil. We have created a wildlife lake and wet-woodland which is fenced off from all grazing activity. We have created a range of wild areas including, log piles, and a bug hotel for various insects to shelter and find food. We have installed a number of rain water collection devices on our gutters to reduce our use of tap water in the gardens. We have created a new orchard with native Cornish apples, pears and cheery trees and adding other small tress and flower beds to our courtyard. We have adopted a no mow policy in a few of our garden areas to allow the grass and wildflowers to grow.

how are they quality secured?

which value do they represent (in usd)?

This is very hard to calculate and I'm not sure how I would attribute a value to what we are currently doing.
