    2. Carbon Reduction Hierarchy The hierarchy seeks to describe the order in which carbon reduction initiatives should be considered. Effectively the hierarchy seeks to identify where the greatest reductions can be realised in relation to the management effort and resource that needs to be applied.The hierarchy seeks to describe the order in which carbon reduction initiatives should be considered.

    7. Intervention contributions (Mt CO2) The P4CR programme is centred around a core concept of four types of intervention. This table shows how it is envisaged each of the intervention types will contribute to the overall aspirational carbon reductions set out on the previous slides. It should be noted that ‘Efficiency in Use’ does not show as making any contribution to the reduction of carbon emissions related to procurement as any savings arising as a result of this intervention will tend to be counted within the energy related emissions attributable to estates or transport operations or reduced demand (spend) as a result of using fewer consumables. It is envisaged that reducing demand will deliver the most immediate impact due to the relative ease of implementation and the immediate impact that reduced consumption will have on carbon related to procurement. Simply reducing demand will become harder as time goes on so the contribution from this intervention will drop off over time. It is also important to note that it is not envisaged that this intervention will deliver the largest proportion of carbon reduction in the long term. Substitution and Innovation is seen as the next intervention to start to make contributions from 2010 onwards which reflects the time it can take to introduce and adopt existing best practice. However, it is predicted that opportunities through innovation in particular will continue to increase over time, which is reflected in the growth of emissions savings up to 2050, as well as offering the potential for the greatest proportion of procurement emissions savings of all four interventions. Supply chain management is predicted to follow a similar, but slightly slower, pattern to substitution and innovation which reflects the reduced level of influence that procurement can have over supplier practices and processes, when compared to the other types of intervention. It is recognised however that this intervention will contribute a significant proportion of procurement related carbon reductions.

    8. This chart shows the carbon reductions attributable to each intervention (as explained on the previous slide). The figures represent Mt of CO2 reduced on a cumulative basis over time (for example the 0.6 Mt CO2 reduction made by 2010 for reducing demand is counted as part of the 2.6 Mt CO2 shown for 2050). The grey area represents the residual emissions that will still occur assuming that the aspirational carbon reductions are achieved.
