Lockton Environment Report 2018-19

LOCKTON ENVIRONMENT REPORT  2018‐19 

Paper Use  Paper use does not have a huge CO2e impact and we recognised this last year when setting targets.  We set one reduction target and one technical target.  o An overall CO2e 30% reduction in paper use per associate within 5 years.  o Alongside this we set a 25% of the paper we use to come from recycled sources by 2020  Performance against target  The methodology takes all sizes of paper and converts to a standard A4 sheet and then uses this as  the baseline to calculate overall quantity, our prior year overall total was 6,530,180. This years is  5,679,010. 

This puts us ahead of target to meet the five year reduction target.  Recycled paper was our second target, we have now identified a suitable stock 80g recycled paper  for general use and this has been in use since February 2019 in London and is replacing the standard  stock for all locations. When a full year of use of this paper is reviewed we expect our recycled paper  use to be far in excess of the stated 25% target next year.  Waste  As observed previously waste in and of itself does not have a large CO2e impact. However we  recognise that it does have a social and pollution impact that can be reduced if the quantity of waste  can be lowered and the reuse and recycling of the waste can be improved.  We did set targets last year 

o Getting accurate waste quantity totals from each location  o Reducing London Waste Quantity per associate by 10% by 2020  And three responsible sourcing targets  o Removal of plastics from use in our supply chain  o Recycle and Reuse surplus IT equipment and Furniture  o Use of recycled materials in products that we by for Stationery.
