Lockton Environment Report 2018

CO2e saving Target - Waste

Over the next 2 years we have set a target of reducing our waste total per associate in London by 10% from the base in 2016. We are expecting to set a 7.5% less for other associates around the UK. Stating this in terms of CO2e the target should achieve a surprisingly low reduction of approximate one tonne of CO2e. Responsible Use, Recycling & Disposal The low CO2 impact of waste doesn’t reduce our focus on waste as the environmental impact of waste is considerable. We will retain our focus on waste to look at the quantities generated and disposal methods to minimise this environmental impact. We will therefore be seeking reuse and recycle to be the norm for all waste and to remove unnecessary products and material from use, preventing their need for disposal in the first place. Zero to landfill being a primary target.

Single use plastics will be identified and where possible removed from use by Lockton and from our immediate supply chain.

We recognise that as we evolve our workplace to be more efficient that surplus furniture and technology equipment will arise. We will therefore look to recycle and reuse of both these primary waste streams.

Our increasing use of partial or wholly recycled products will help sustain a market in these and hopefully enable more efficient recycling and other reuse or recycle opportunities in the future. Over the next 12 months our target will be paper and other stationery consumables where use of recycled product in the manufacture process can be assessed.
