Initiatives in fiscal 2010
Environmental Improvement Plan
Throughout 2010, twelve selected groups of staff planned and implemented improvements covered in the company's 5 year Environmental Improvement Plan, with some excellent results. Reductions included water consumption down by 12%, waste to landfill by 7.8% and hazardous waste by 4.8%, whilst the company's energy saving was independently verified at 6.7% over the last two years, resulting in the company being awarded the BSi Energy Reduction Kitemark.

Increasing Staff Awareness
To increase staff awareness, a series of posters provided information on the installation of Automatic Readers for all electric and gas meters to optimise energy consumption monitoring, the Design Working Group's focus on carbon foot-printing including the elements making up the iSpeed 3 system footprint and the work under way to measure and reduce its lifecycle CO2 footprint. Other posters, customised for each building, were specifically designed to raise staff awareness of energy consumption, the factors which affect it and the opportunities for energy reduction that the Energy Reduction Working Group are studying and implementing.
