Dear [name redacted]

RWM is pleased to provide the following information to your questions.


In accordance with the Freedom of Information Act, I would be grateful if your organisation could please respond to the following questions:

Excluding EPC ratings, does your organisation measure carbon emissions due to energy use in relation to your built assets?

Yes

What was the annual carbon footprint (in CO2) of your organisation’s HQ building in 2018?

Our former office carbon footprint in 2018/19 was 8,760 kg CO2e. The carbon footprint of the office we moved into in summer 2019 is lower but not yet determined.

Yes

With the UK Government having signed legislation to commit the UK to a legally binding target of net zero carbon emissions by 2050, is your organisation already planning towards ‘net zero carbon’ operation by 2050?

Yes, we are in the early phases of our planning.

If you have any questions, please do let me know. I look forward to hearing from you by Monday 6 April. ————————————————————————————————————————————–

I hope the attached information meets with your approval. If however you are dissatisfied with the way in which RWM has dealt with your request, you have the right to require us to review our actions and decisions. If you wish to request a review, please write to me within 40 working days. You will receive a full response to your request for review within 20 working days of its receipt.

If after this review you are still dissatisfied with the way in which we have handled your request you may then ask the Information Commissioner to review our decision. You must submit your complaint to the Commissioner within six months of receiving the response to review letter.
