AiB Statements on Expenditure 2024-25

Considerations throughout the year have been focused on the remaining objectives from our 2023-24 energy efficiency report, mainly the full replacement of the buildings lighting to LED and installation of solar PV array. 

The plan to sublet some of the office space will also have an impact on our energy consumption and will ensure that the office is being used to maximum potential while also contributing to the Scottish Government (SG) estate strategy and the rationalisation of the SG estate. 

We continue to look at areas such as paper consumption, where rather than simply reducing the amount of paper used through increasing use of digital alternatives, we reflect the environmental benefits of reducing paper usage. 

Likewise for our Net Zero by 2045 timeline, we will look closer at our energy consumption and build our understanding of where we are using greener energy and where we can reduce non-green energy consumption which is made up of more damaging carbon emissions.
