Building our blueprint for better business
Our 2012 sustainability update
Taking stock
In 2012, we reached the end of one five-year cycle for our sustainability performance – and began another. So we’ve reviewed our results, and expanded our horizons. Find out more.
Zero to landfill
A catalyst for good
Since 2007, we’ve been working to transform our waste management so it’s better for the environment. In June 2012 we eliminated all landfill. Find out more.
Energy intensity
Down 33% in five years
In 2007, energy accounted for 44% of the carbon footprint of our operations. Since then, we’ve trialled new management approaches and technologies to drive efficiency, saving more than an estimated £7m. Find out more.
Sustainability, assured
Trust our results
We know there’s a growing demand for independent scrutiny of sustainability data, so we’ve had our environmental and community data for both 2007 and 2012 assured by our external auditor. Find out more.
A sustainable future
New environmental targets for 2017
We’ve renewed our commitments to ‘decouple’ our business from its negative impacts. We’re aiming to halve our materials and waste, cut our carbon by a quarter and hold our business travel flat, as we grow our business. Find out more.
Pioneers in social change
Creating social value
We’re innovating to tackle social exclusion in our communities. We’ve set up a social enterprise to help homeless people get back on their feet as well as a Centre for Social Impact to advance the understanding of social value. Find out more.
