LOCKTON ENVIRONMENT REPORT  2018‐19 

We help our associates offset their personal household CO2

We recognise that our associates want to do as much as possible to help reduce their own personal  carbon Footprint. In response to this expressed desire we therefore introduced a voluntary  employee benefit last year to help associates offset their Carbon Footprint.  Again we worked with Carbon Footprint to set the programme in motion and after careful  consideration set up a scheme whereby Lockton contributes 50% of the cost of the Carbon Offset  and the associate contributes the remainder on a monthly basis.  The amount of carbon to be offset was calculated by Carbon Footprint using nationally published  data sources for household CO2 generated and the cost to the associate was a simple £2.50 per  month.  The associates selected the scheme they wanted to support from a short list drawn up by Carbon  footprint and they decided to support the same project as for the Lockton Business offset and for  the first six months of the scheme a total of 590 tonnes of CO2 was offset by those associates who  joined the scheme.  All associates received a personalised certificate for taking part.
