Decarbonisation Strategy for YMCA WA

The Challenge

YMCA WA, a leading community service organisation, aimed to align with the YMCA global movement’s goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2030. With facilities across Western Australia, YMCA WA needed a comprehensive decarbonisation strategy to tackle emissions from energy use and transportation.

The Evolveable Approach – Decarbonisation Strategy

YMCA WA partnered with Evolveable Consulting to develop and execute a robust decarbonisation plan over 12 months.

The process included:

  • Carbon Footprint Analysis

Evolveable’s team thoroughly assessed YMCA WA’s emissions sources and calculated their current carbon footprint as a baseline. This analysis was crucial in identifying the primary areas where emissions reductions could be achieved.

  • Decarbonisation Roadmapping

Evolveable helped YMCA WA define decarbonisation pathways, set emission reduction targets, and create a roadmap of strategic initiatives aligned with net zero goals. This roadmap served as a guiding document for all future actions and investments.

  • Capability Building

Evolveable provided training for YMCA staff on climate change mitigation. This training ensured that all staff members had the knowledge and skills needed to support the not-for-profits decarbonisation efforts.


The Outcomes

With Evolveable’s support, YMCA WA have a comprehensive decarbonisation strategy, including:

  • A roadmap to achieve net zero by 2030 across all operations
  • Plans for energy efficiency retrofits, renewable power purchase agreements and fleet electrification
  • Embedded carbon management capabilities through staff training
  • Ability to leverage Evolveable’s partner network for turnkey solution implementation and project delivery
