Objectives and Targets
Bentley
Responsible
2010/11 saw a strong and successful focus on better measurement of our environmental impact and identification of areas where we have the most opportunity to make a positive impact. We have established company environmental objectives under the three key categories of waste management, pollution prevention, and reductions in energy and fuel usage, and then used these to develop targets that will help us improve performance.
Our Company environmental targets are:
Climate change / emissions reduction:
• Reduce average g/km of CO2 of cars in company fleet from 135 to 134 g/km by the end of 2012 (therefore reducing levels of CO2e to air)
• By the end of 2012, reduce the tonnes of CO2e produced per £100,000 turnover by 10%, from the current level of 7.82 tonnes of CO2e per £100,000 turnover.
Renewable energy:
• Generate sufficient renewable energy to offset all owned and operated office energy use at JN Bentley within 5 years.
Waste generation / disposal:
• By the end of 2012, achieve a 25% reduction in overall waste generated (excluding soils - over which we have little influence) from the current 2010 level of 7.48 tonnes per £100,000 turnover.
Waste re-used / recycled:
• Maintain a diversion of over 90% of office and site waste from landfill (by recycling and reusing).
Water consumption:
• Obtain annual water usage figures for 100% of owned and operated offices by end of 2012.
• Reduce water consumption in owned and operated offices by 5%, from the 2012 level, by the end of 2013.
Commuting travel:
• Provide a green travel incentive / options scheme (in place of the current standard company car benefit package) for 100% of monthly paid employees by the end of 2012.
Business travel:
• Provide a business travel car sharing incentive scheme for 100% of monthly paid employees by the end of 2012.
Pollution Prevention:
• Achieve a 10% increase in Environmental Near Miss reporting (demonstrating a measureable improvement in environmental awareness), from 2010 levels, by the end of 2012.
We will continue to work hard and engage the JN Bentley workforce in various initiatives throughout 2012 and beyond to help the company achieve these targets.
