Lockton Environment Report 2018-19
LOCKTON ENVIRONMENT REPORT 2018‐19 How did we do in our CO2 Reduction and our other Targets Absolute reductions and performance reductions We stated earlier that we have educed our overall t tal CO2e by over 21%. However when a business is successful and is growing, in both turnover and headcount, it can be slightly misleading to use an absolute measure, as there comes a point where delivery of growth will lead to an absolute increase in CO2. Last year we therefore adopted a series of performance metrics based around our headcount and set targets for improvements, some short term, others longer term. Electricity We set ourselves two targets last year. o To reduce our scope 2 and scope 3 (Transmission and distribution) electricity use emissions by 20% by the end of the 2023 financial year, when measured against a base year of 2016‐17. o To reduce the kWh consumed per associate by 15% over the same period, 2017 ‐2023. Overall, if we were to meet these targets then an estimated 166 tonnes of CO2 would be eliminated from our 2023 total. Performance against target CO2/Associate
Following to the adoption of renewable generation for the electric supply at the London HQ, the overall CO2 per associate for the UK has already dropped to 170.6kg per associate, exceeding the 444kg/associate target set for 2023. However, we are susceptible to changes in the supply source by our landlords and so we are retaining the 2023 target at present and will monitor against this. kWh/Associate Increased energy efficiency measures in London, mainly through reduced hours of plant operation, have contributed to a reduction in overall kWh for the year. An increase in headcount over the same period means that we had a net reduction per associate for electricity consumed of 146kwh per associate, representing ‐6.9%. Analysis shows us ahead of target for the 2023 15% reduction.
