Climate Change & Net Zero Strategy

SPT is committed to being Net Zero within its operational boundary by 2045. Find out our vision and objectives, as well as our action plan for making it happen, below. You can also view highlights from our Net Zero journey.

Our Vision

By 2030, SPT will be a low carbon, resource efficient and climate-resilient organisation with
a robust net zero carbon pathway to 2045 across all of our operations and supply chains.
We will have a green organisational culture and a workforce highly trained in climate change mitigation
and adaption. We will have a leading role in delivering a decarbonised and adapted transport network
in the west of Scotland and will have strong partnerships in place to maximise co-benefits of
green investment and innovation and ensure a just transition.

SPT aims to have zero carbon emissions across our Scope 1 and Scope 2 operational emission boundary by 2030.

SPT aims to have net zero carbon emissions across our full operational emission boundary by 2045.

Climate Change & Net Zero Strategy

SPT recognises the urgency of making rapid and sustained emissions reductions along the pathway to 2030 and 2045 to help avoid the worst effects of climate change.
