Lockton Re Environment Report 2024

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 thecarbon costof thatmovement. It is also appropriatetonote thatDHLhavetheir own carbon reduction programme.

Our catering and cleaning contractors in London are supporting this removal of single use plastics. Wehaverecently changed catering contractor and welcomeand supporttheirown 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. Pollution andplastics Key Targets
