ScottishPower has pledged to help reduce Glasgow’s carbon emissions by signing up to become a “Climate City Champion”, supporting the city council’s aim to achieve net zero emissions by 2030.
To mark the occasion ScottishPower CEO Keith Anderson joined Glasgow City Council leader Susan Aitken to sign the local authority’s Sustainable Glasgow Green Recovery Hub charter at event in the city chambers.
The charter marks a commitment by leading businesses and employers in Scotland’s largest city to take action within their own organisation and sectors to contribute to a green recovery and “radically reduce” carbon emissions.
Anderson said: “As we work to reduce carbon emissions and achieve Net Zero targets, companies like ours have a responsibility to lead by example and show how we’re making the transition to a cleaner and greener future a reality.
“Back in 2019, we pledged alongside the council to transform Glasgow into the UK’s first net zero city. Signing up to become a Climate City Champion is the latest step on our journey to tackle the climate emergency, reduce our own emissions and show how to become a more sustainable business.”
Leader of Glasgow City Council, Susan Aitken, said: “I’m delighted to sign the Sustainable Glasgow Charter on behalf of Glasgow City Council. As a signatory, we are fully committed to achieving the ambition set out in the charter.”
