TMS is increasingly determined to have a positive
effect on the environment and to avoid any
unintended consequences through its actions.
TMS has revised its corporate Environment Policy
to strengthen its environmental commitments to
reduce the TMS impact on climate change.
Context
‘Change begins at
the end of your
comfort zone’
TMS carbon reduction progress
is detailed in Chart 1.
Chart 1 - Annual Emission by Type (Kilograms)
‘The time to act was yesterday’
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
(IPCC) Special Report ‘Global Warming of 1.5°C’
(2018) is clear on the causes and effects of climate
change on the world. The report states that the
primary driver of long term global warming is
carbon dioxide emissions (CO2) and that global
temperatures relate to increased cumulative CO2
emissions from human activity, primarily from
energy use. This will result in significant loss of
ecosystems and biodiversity along with increased
impacts on human health and the economy. The
world is already around 1°C warmer than pre-
industrial times and is currently on track to reach
between 3-4°C global temperature increase by
2100 if no action is taken.
The United Nations Framework Convention on
Climate Change (UNFCC) Paris Agreement (2015),
to which the UK is a signatory, aims to:
“Strengthen the global response to the threat of
climate change by keeping a global temperature
rise this century well below 2°C above pre-
industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the
temperature increase even further to 1.5°C.”
The UK will deliver on the Paris Agreement by
vigorously pursuing a target to reduce greenhouse
gas (GHG) emissions to ‘net zero’ by 2050, ending
the UK’s contribution to global warming within 31
years. This was enshrined in law in June 2019
through amendments to the 2050 GHG emissions
reduction target in the Climate Change Act 2008
from at least 80% to at least 100%, otherwise
known as ‘net zero’.
TMS remains committed to putting the
principles of sustainable development
into action in everything it does. This is
so that development meets the needs
of today without compromising the
ability of future generations to meet
their own.
TMS is increasingly determined to have
a positive effect on the environment
and to avoid any unintended
consequences through its actions. TMS
has revised its corporate Environment
Policy to strengthen its environmental
commitments, ensuring we continue to
reduce the impact upon climate
change.
TMS has now set new environment and
climate change targets for the future.
TMS will lead the way on tackling
greenhouse gas emissions by:
• Working with partners, businesses
and communities to tackle
climate
change through a common
framework.
• Reducing the emissions from its
own estate and operations to
net
zero by 2050.
