In December 2009 the County Council approved an Environmental Performance Management Framework.  The framework ensures that the Council measures and reports on its environmental performance related to commitment it has made in its Environment Strategy.  

In addition the County Council committed itself to reporting on its environmental performance to the public on an annual basis. The Council has.produced the Annual Environmental Performance Report for 2010-2011.  

You can download a copy of the report below

A low resolution photocopy of the Annual Environmental Performance Report is available on request by contacting us.  We do not print hard copies of the document.

Leicestershire County Council strives to improve the quality of the data that is available for the report and to improve value of the report to the public.  We therefore welcome any comments on the Annual Environmental Performance Report and in particular any comments that will enable us to improve the report.  Please contact us to provide your comments.

Local authorities are required to report on Greenhouse Gas emissions from their own estate and operations by national government.  From 2010/11 reporting year the Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC) require that local authorities follow the same guidance that was published for organisations by DECC and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) in September 2009. This guidance is available on the Defra website.

DECC is requesting that each local authority publishes its own GHG report locally on its own website. This is to support the localism agenda by ensuring local authorities are accountable to their local people for their greenhouse gas emissions. The Council's emmissions report is quality assured by Verco
