Microsoft Word - Environment Report 2018 - Draft

CO2 Report

For the first time we are now reporting our environmental impact as CO2e generated as a consequence of providing our services to our clients. We have also moved our reporting period to tie in with our financial year and going forward this report will always match the financial year. Our management strategy will now also be expressed in terms of CO2e reduction. Our Environmental Policy, an essential part of our ISO14001 Strategy, remains unchanged and is repeated at the end of this report. Our environment targets will include a statement of CO2e saving as well as overall volume reduction or efficiency gains in amount per associate.

CO2e Generated – 2,351 tonnes

In the 12 month period from May 2017 through to the end of April 2018 Lockton activities in the UK and Ireland generated 2,151 tonnes of CO2e.

CO2e is the international standard to measure CO2 and other emissions and allows a number of different activities to be analysed by their CO2 impact and establish a common base measurement. We calculate our carbon emissions, using GHG Protocol and Defra guidelines utilising 2017 emissions metrics (published August 2017) developed by the UK Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS).
