Lockton Environmental Report 2023-24

Additional environmental programmes We have continued existing reuse/upcycle treatment of our two prime waste streams of redundant IT equipment and surplus furniture. Recycle IT equipment We ensure accredited data wiping has taken place and allowed reuse (upcycling) by others of redundant equipment. The remainder has been broken down into spares for reuse by others. Furniture Our prime furniture supplier is Senator and we have continued to work with them to ensure replaced surplus furniture is taken by them, where we have worked with them to upcycle where possible to schools and other organisations, with the remainder going through to their UK based dismantling facility. Package movement Our supplier partner for package movement is DHL, and in conjunction with their Go Green Climate Neutral service we seek to minimise the impact of our movement of packages and equipment between offices and with clients, whether within the UK or internationally. As part of their Go Green Programme, we pay an additional amount to them for package movement to offset the carbon cost of that movement. It is also appropriate to note that DHL have their own carbon reduction programme. Pollution and plastics Key Targets - 2023 As previous reported, we continue to look to remove plastics, particularly all single use plastic from the business and identify and remove all unnecessary plastic use from the business. Our catering and cleaning contractors in London are supporting this removal of single use plastics. We have recently changed catering contractor and welcome and support their own environment programme where they are seeking B- Corp status for their entire business. With other suppliers where our relationship with them is transactional rather than through a framework as we don’t have sufficient volumes, it is proving more difficult to get them to use plastic free protection around delivered items. Our furniture supplier have removed plastics from their delivery as part of their own strategic move, a welcome bonus of working with an appropriate organisation.

Secondary targets We have reviewed these again and the status is as previously reported, and they continue to be a focus for us. y Adopt bulk delivery and dispense via refill for all cleaning and bathroom products, stopping waste bottles. Continuing, ozone system remains in use, some limited chemicals has been needed to address very small specific cleaning issues. We are looking with our supplier at further alternatives, where ozone does not achieve a satisfactory outcome. y Removal of plastic single use bags from the waste collection and cleaning process Continuing y Remove plastic based corporate and marketing products. Continued, albeit very limited over the past 12 months. y Adopt non plastic milk delivery and dispense within the offices . All London semi‐skimmed milk is now delivered in glass bottles and reused. y Maximise use of all electronic email and social media to distribute messages and information to associates. Continuing. y Maximise the use of plastic free products in all office stationery, including bamboo, wood and other products. Although alternatives were investigated the low consumption from existing stock over the year has meant progressing this to completion will now be over the next 12 months. y Client Presentations and bound folders, redesign the Lockton presentation folder and house style to remove plastics from the process whilst retaining the professional Lockton production values. Underway, purpose made folders that are plastic free, and recyclable are in use, with a continuing drive and support to associates.
