3ADAPT supported the Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew (RBG Kew) in decarbonising its procurement function, which accounts for about 50% of its carbon footprint, to help achieve its 2030 Climate Positive target. This involved a detailed analysis of procurement data, identification of key suppliers, and development of sustainable procurement practices. 3ADAPT created carbon-focused expectations for suppliers, designed interventions to gather sustainability data, and produced guidance for staff to embed sustainability into procurement policies and tender processes, aligning with RBG Kew's climate and social value goals.
3ADAPT supported Historic Environment Scotland (HES) in reviewing and improving data on visitor travel emissions to assist in their Carbon Management Plan. By conducting interviews, workshops, and reviewing datasets, 3ADAPT provided recommendations for better data collection and estimating emissions, while also considering the unique challenges of HES's dispersed sites and encouraging sustainable travel.
