Lockton Environment Report 2018-19

LOCKTON ENVIRONMENT REPORT  2018‐19  CO2 Emission and Review Summary  In the twelve month perio May 2018 to End of April 2019 Lockton activities in UK and Ireland  generated 1,845 tonnes CO2e, this represents an overall reduction of over 21%. The majority of the  reduction comes from now having our electrical energy in our London HQ building at St Botolph now  coming from confirmed 100% renewable generation, with zero carbon dioxide. We have also seen a  small reduction in flights flown and reductions in paper use and waste generated.   All of these changes, when combined with an increased headcount and an increase in turnover  means that as well as an absolute reduction in Co2 emissions we also have reduced the Co2 impact  per associate by over 22% and the Co2 impact per £M of turnover reduced by over 25%. 1

21% Reduction in our total CO2e in the last 12 months

Analysis Methodology  We have continued to use the methodology that we adopted for the first time last year, and that is  reporting our emissions based on a period that aligns with our financial year and using an external  third party, Carbon Footprint, to take our raw data and using GHG protocol and Defra guidelines,  using the latest metrics from BEIS. All results then validated to ISO14064‐3.   Emissions totals are calculated by multiplying activity data (i.e. electricity consumption) with the  appropriate emissions factor (i.e. UK electricity). 

Three emission scopes are set down in the GHG protocol and are detailed below:
