Aberdeen was announced as one DESNZ’s second headquarters in December last year. This highlights the important role the north east Scotland will play in our net zero transition.

The headquarters already has over 100 staff (104 as of end June 2024), and our ambition is to increase this to 135 by March 2027.

We plan to review DESNZ’s overall location strategy and associated growth targets later this year, to ensure alignment with the departmental objectives.
