Atmospheric impacts – Corporate objectives and targets
2010 Objective – To demonstrate peer group leadership in delivering solutions to reduce our impact on the environment & prudent use of natural resources. All offices to meet Econ 19 “Good practice”
2004 Target – Establish baseline for energy consumption across Carillion estate and an action plan with targets to meet Econ 19 benchmark.
We received a 100% score for this target.
The following information was presented to the auditor:
• Econ 191 water, electricity and gas figures for 9 premises
• Consumption breakdown for our property estate (including analysis of baseline energy consumption and % deviation from Econ 19 guidelines)
• Energy action plans for 2 premises (24 Birch Street and Peal House), but note that we have energy plans for all our buildings
• Energy saving proposal document for Carillion estate with costs, payback periods, status, proposed start date and individual responsible
• Correspondence with Carbon Trust regarding energy saving measures at Locksons Wharf, London
2004 Standard – Demonstrate continuing reduction in CO2 emissions in car fleet.
Carillion plc & Diesel
• From September 1999 to September 2004 Carillion Fleet management has encouraged the use of diesel engines and the present company car choice list reflects our decision to favour diesel. The car fleet has shifted from 33% diesel in September 1999 to 56% in June 2004.
• In addition to this Carillion’s fleet of Light Commercial Vehicles (LCV) and Light Goods Vehicles is around 99% diesel, bringing the overall fleet including both cars and commercials to 76% diesel.
• The new orders for 2004, suggest that the trend towards diesel is set to continue with 86% of all newly ordered cars having a diesel engine. It would seem reasonable to suggest therefore that by 2008 over 80% of the car fleet may be diesel, further reducing fuel costs to Carillion.
• In addition to these obvious financial benefits, the conversion of our fleet to diesel is responsible for 5% per unit decrease in CO2 emissions - around 600 tonnes per annum.
• Diesel has also been one of the key factors in Carillion plc reducing its CO2 emissions from our car fleet from nearly 12,000 tonnes of CO2 per annum at the end on 2002 to less than 10,000 tonnes of CO2 per annum by June 2004.
Hybrid vehicles
• We are committed to introducing Hybrid Vehicles hybrid vehicles into the fleet and are introducing hybrid vehicles to the choice list. In the first year Carillion should save around 204 tonnes of CO2 emissions and £130,000 with an additional £10,000 for every 1% (20 cars) converted from diesel to Hybrid.
CO2 Emissions
• Based on June 2004 calculations the average CO2 emissions for the Carillion car fleet is approximately 171g/km. This compares to an estimated 178g/km in 1999.
• CO2 emissions from the Carillion car fleet have fallen from almost 1200 tonnes in December 2002 to around 9000 tonnes in Jan 2005. This equates to a 25% reduction in total CO2 emissions, of which around 850 tonnes per annum can be attributed to favouring diesel-powered over petrol-powered engines.
• CO2 emissions from the Carillion car fleet have fallen from over 4600Kg per unit in December 2002 to under 4300Kg per unit in June 2004, equating to a 7% reduction in CO2 emissions per unit.
Road Safety Strategy
• The introduction of the road safety strategy in the last quarter of 2004 is reflected by a 15% fall in accident rates for the same period. Much of this is attributed to the reinforcement of the driver training which has increased awareness across the business. This is estimated to have saved Carillion in the region of £25,000 in repair cost alone and as much as double this taking into account associated costs like hire replacement, administration, 3rd party costs etc..
• The greatest improvement was made in the light commercial fleet which saw a reduction in the accident rate of nearly 40%.
Fleet Sustainability
• Carillion Fleet Management has developed a Fleet Sustainability Strategy Model, developing the Carillion Sustainability Model in a way to demonstrate how we can deliver business benefits to Carillion and its other fleet customers through becoming more sustainable and demonstrating true corporate responsibility principles.
2005 Target – Define strategy for:
1) marked reduction in car option CO2 emissions (i.e. the car list steer to lower CO2 vehicles).
2) achieving smarter vehicle mileage (i.e. without negative business impact).
2005 Standard – Deliver Carillion Estates 2005 Energy Action Plan (Note Estates Plan to 2010 is to achieve Econ 19 benchmark.
