Minimising environmental impacts from properties
Most of our direct environmental impacts occur within our own properties, particularly through energy use and carbon emissions, so our aim is to reduce these as far as possible.
Priorities
Resource efficiency: We aim to minimise the energy, materials and water used within our operations
Renewable energy: We aim to maximise our use of renewable energy
Climate change and GHG emissions: We aim to minimise our contribution to climate change and manage the impacts, risks and opportunities that will affect our business and supply chain
Highlights
We sourced 90 per cent of our electricity from renewable sources in 2019
We reduced our emissions by 5.5 per cent this year, bringing the five-year total reduction to 29 per cent
We expanded our scope 3 emissions reporting to include air travel emissions
Our sustainable property programme is focused on:
