LOCKTON ENVIRONMENT REPORT  2018‐19 

Transport and Travel  Transport remains the biggest source of our CO2e emissions, with flights making up the bulk of the  split. Due to the nature of our business and the requirement to deliver our services face to face with  our clients, wherever they may be based, we recognised that limiting our travel to our clients would  compromise the very heart and soul of our business, which is class leading client service – our  “broking done differently” offering.   So last year we set out to limit travel related to internal meetings, with an estimate that by reducing  these by 33% within five years then we would save approximately 8‐10% of the overall travel CO2  emissions. 

Performance against target  CO2 

Acquisition of our transport data has been historically difficult due to the varied methods of  associates themselves acquiring the travel, either through travel management companies or direct  with the transport company and the accuracy of the information returned from associates via  expense claims. Therefore a review of the methodology has formed part of an operational project  over the past three months and the outcome is now that we will be seeking to place our travel  through a travel management company, for all short and long haul travel, enabling accurate data for  future years.  However, analysis of lasts years data against this years does allow an assessment of progress  towards the 10% reduction in travel or 33 % reduction for internal meeting travel.
