The need to act

78% of adults agree:

“I don’t think it’s enough for companies to say they are responsible, they need to prove it to me”

31% say it’s very important

“When forming a decision about buying a product or service from a particular company or organisation, how important is it that it shows a high degree of social responsibility?”

Ipsos MORI Sustainable Business Monitor August 2013

Responding to global issues

• Current rate: +2oC above C19th levels by mid C21st

• “Extremely likely that human influence has been the dominant cause of the observed warming since the mid C20th” IPCC

Carbon

• Using & disposing 1m3 water produces > 1kg CO2e

• Heating 1m3 water by electricity from STP to 90°C emits 35kg CO2e; freezing emits 63kg

• UK businesses use ~10 billion m3 water annually

Water

• UK businesses generate 40 Mt waste annually• 24% is sent to landfill• 1t mixed commercial & industrial waste = 1.8t CO2e• “The true cost of waste, in terms of wasted raw materials, energy and labour is typically around £500 per tonne” WRAP

recertification exercise valued the opportunity to share information on our

carbon reduction programme and to

benchmark with peers”

helped us demonstrate to our

staff and the wider community that we are effectively managing

and reducing our carbon footprint”
