Environmental performance
We continue to monitor and improve environmental performance
using our Environmental Management System (EMS).
During 2002-03, three further local offices and Head Office implemented
the EMS. They join our Lancashire Office in being externally assessed
and successfully added to our ISO14001 certificate. A further eight
local offices began implementing the EMS last year.
The EMS has helped us to deliver many environmental benefits, such
as introducing environmental considerations in to the approval stage
of new projects and setting specific improvement targets to:
- reduce paper consumption
- reduce electricity consumption
- maximise recycling
- manage travel.
National targets reflect those set in the Framework for Sustainable
Development on the Government Estate. One target, to have at least 10%
of fleet cars alternatively fuelled by 2006 has already been exceeded
three years early. Of all Agency fleet cars, 29% have dual fuel capacity
and can run on either petrol or LPG.
