INNOVATION AND PRODUCT SELECTION/DIVERSITY All our UK operations have environmental management systems accredited to ISO 14001. Our business sets annual environmental targets, with performance monitored by senior management. We developed our own Sustainability Excellence Model, illustrated by the Sun Diagram, in conjunction with The Natural Step as a way of capturing our strategy from 2006-2010. We have developed a vision, policies, procedures, objectives and KPI targets for each of the impact areas. A Quarterly, comprehensive questionnaire charts progress across our operations and we use the outcomes of this to identify improvement requirements. Our model is a step-by-step guide to achieving excellence which provides transparency for our operational staff on requirements and progress. The results are communicated throughout our business and we have set progress targets.
As part of the Sustainability Excellence Model, each of our operational areas is required to identify their environmental impacts and assess ways to eliminate negative impacts whilst maximising positive impacts. This includes use of energy and water, biodiversity impacts,
environmental risks and reduction of waste to landfill. This enables us to measure progress against environmental targets. We set ourselves a challenging target for Carbon Reduction in 2007: to halve Carillion’s carbon emissions per £million of turnover by the end of 2010, compared to 2006. 94% of our measured emissions come from four areas: business travel, commercial vehicles, plant fuel oil and energy for offices. Our carbon reduction strategy focuses on these areas, for each there is an action plan including initiatives that enable us to meet our reduction target.
In 2009, we achieved a reduction of 24% compared to the UK baseline for 2006. This decrease is a result of factors including the introduction of control measures for plant fuel use, internal reviews of fuel expenditure and Group- wide efforts to reduce the need for travel for example, using tele and video- conferencing facilities. 93% of our company cars are diesel or hybrid. In tackling waste, we aim to reduce materials we order and reuse where possible. Where waste cannot be designed out this way, we divert it from landfill, often by donating it to community projects. We aim to minimise our use of resources such as water and plasterboard, and to choose environmentally sound materials.
With around 25,000 suppliers, integrating sustainability considerations into our standard procurement procedures creates significant positive impact. Timber is a priority issue, we are members of WWF-UK’s Forest and Trade Network. This commits us to progressively increase purchases from certified sources. Many of our contracts operate on or near locations with specific biodiversity issues. We create biodiversity action plans for all such projects. Additionally, we foster biodiversity through the Carillion Natural Habitats Fund. “For a decade, Carillion has put substantial and much-needed sums of money into conservation. It has helped to fund projects and schemes which are enhancing, restoring and reviving some of the UK’s most precious habitats.” Stephanie Hilborne, Chief Executive, The Wildlife Trusts.
CARBON REDUCTION COMMITMENTS We design our projects to be environmentally sound throughout their life cycles. Recent examples include the Stoke Local Service Centre, where CO2
emissions are 62% lower than the legal requirement, and Bristol’s Southmead Hospital, which will be the UK’s most sustainable hospital. Two new schools delivered by Carillion have received ‘excellent’ BREEAM ratings. The features that helped Jarrow School and Mortimer Community College secure the ratings included a link-up with Durham Wildlife Trust, the use of renewable energy technology and the inclusion of community space. Our Centrica Property Team work with our client to engage building users to reduce energy. Their initiatives include: • Annual carbon reduction campaigns
• Creation of a Sustainability Strategy Group led by Carillion including external environmental experts
• Capital investment in building maintenance and engineering solutions, specifically renewable energy and implementation of rainwater harvesting, intelligent lighting and solar thermal technology
• In 2005, CORMS (Centrica Online Remote Monitoring System) was developed. This single platform for remotely monitoring plant and equipment conditions and displaying real time energy and water consumption data provided an effective means for proactive energy management throughout the portfolio by Facilities Managers and service provider engineers alike. To date, CORMS has contributed to a 27% reduction in CO2
emissions from
Centrica’s properties and 10% per FTE, equating to a £2 million financial saving to the business. Their efforts have been rewarded by a number of awards – Green Apple Awards 2008 & 2009, Green Heroes 2009, 2010, The Environment & Energy Awards 2009.
FUTURE PLANS AND SUMMARY In 2010, Carillion are engaging with environmentalist Jonathon Porritt and Forum for the Future to recast our sustainability agenda for the next decade. This will address both current and future sustainability impacts, such as protecting the safety of our employees, contractors and neighbours; reducing our carbon footprint; and supporting local employment and economic development.
