Microsoft Word - Environment Report 2018 - Draft

Waste

We set ourselves a number of targets last year. Performance against all these targets has not been achieved as we have not yet obtained volume/weight data from all sites, we are still working with our landlords, who control the dispose of the waste to achieve this. For London alone we do have data, we are currently slightly behind track to achieve the reduction target of 7.5% less waste by weight by end 2020, (2016 base Year). The slippage caused by more paper being disposed of as shredded waste as we move from hard copy archive to scanned electronic copy. This increased the volume of this area of waste substantially and growth in the overall total. This change does however set us up to work differently and should result in less paper being used and less waste in future years and we expect to be back on track by the end of this year. We have assessed where waste is disposed of and two locations have landlord disposal services where waste may end up in Local Authority controlled land fill. The waste disposal in these two locations will be reviewed and no landfill will be used by end of the current reporting year, this gives us new targets of.  All sites data by end 2018  7.5% less by gross weight in London from 2017 to 2020  10% less per associate in London from 2017 to 2020.  Set Targets for all sites for 2018-2020 at the end of 2018, expected to be 7.5% less waste within 2 years
