Environment Information
A C Liani (Yorkshire) Limited are committed to protecting and enhancing the environment and tackling climate change - one of the most serious threats facing us today.
The government has a long-term goal to reduce carbon emissions by 80 per cent by 2050. With homes accounting for around 27 per cent of the UK's carbon emissions, it is clear that change is needed to the way we have been building our homes and communities.
With this in mind the Communities and Local Government published ‘Building a Greener Future: policy statement´ in July 2007. This policy statement confirms the government's intention for all new homes to be zero carbon from 2016 with a progressive tightening of the energy efficiency building regulations - by 25 per cent in 2010 and by 44 per cent in 2013 - up to the zero carbon target in 2016.
We recognise that Local Government has a pivotal role to play in helping communities take action on climate change.
The ‘Local Government White Paper´ gives councils new opportunities to drive local action on reducing carbon emissions and adapting to the impacts of climate change. A C Liani´s commitment to protecting and enhancing the environment has already been demonstrated, as is evident from recently received awards.
In addition, we are:
- looking at ways of improving the energy and water efficiency of existing homes and businesses;
- looking for opportunities to include innovative examples of sustainable development in our housing and commercial projects;
- and making sure that developments include important green spaces which are vital to people's health and wellbeing.
We are also endeavouring to ensure where possible that our projects are run and managed with environmental impacts in mind.
