Waste Management
We are committed to reduction of the volumes of waste we generate and in particular that element which is sent to landfill sites.
Full implementation of our waste management policy has enabled us to monitor the volume of waste and its content, generated across all our sites and this information has enabled us to make changes in our procurement and construction processes to improve efficiency. In 2007/08, we produced 13.9 tonnes of waste per equivalent unit built, of which 65% was recycled. For 2008/09 we have set a target to reduce the level of waste per equivalent unit by 5% and to increase the amount of waste recycled to 70%.
Additionally, we now monitor our carbon emissions across the Group and submit our results to the Carbon Disclosure Project. We have set ourselves a 5% reduction target for the forthcoming year and aspire to a 15% reduction by 2020.
