As a council, we want to make sure that we have a positive impact on our environment.
Leeds City Council carries out lots of activities that have positive and negative impacts on the environment. Some of the environmental impacts we control ourselves, for example the carbon emissions from our buildings. In other areas we influence the environmental impact, for example, the way that we deliver our services and spend public money.
Environmental Policy
Our Environmental Policy helps us makes decisions about what we do and how we do it so that we protect the environment, reduce the amount of resources we use and cut our carbon emissions. To help us do this, we have included an action plan as part of our policy to help deliver our objectives.
