Objective: To use energy, water and materials responsibly, reducing, reusing and recycling.

We are working hard to provide our occupiers with energy-efficient buildings, reducing their costs and cutting carbon emissions. We also understand the environmental and financial benefits of reducing mains water use at our properties and developments. In 2008, we signed up to an initiative launched by the national waste advisory body, WRAP, to halve the amount of construction waste sent to landfill by 2012.

OUR 2014 TARGETS

• Construct buildings with 30 per cent better energy efficiency than base build.
  
• Improve SEGRO's energy efficiency by 30 per cent.
  
• Investigate the feasibility of renewable energy for every development site.
  
• Reduce water use in common parts of managed buildings (including our Head Office) and landscaping activities by 20 per cent.
  
• Incorporate water efficiency measures and water recycling to reduce mains water use by 20 per cent compared to base build.
  
• Reduce the proportion of non-hazardous construction and excavation waste to landfill by 70 per cent compared to 2007.
  
• Reuse or recycle 80 per cent of non-hazardous construction and demolition waste.

Our Key Performance Indicators

Average CO2 emissions for offices occupied by SEGRO (kg/sq m)	Average C02 emissions per car in SEGRO's UK vehicle fleet (kg/km)

In 2008:

• Our UK developments all included a minimum of 16 per cent green space, helping to create an attractive environment for occupiers and enhance biodiversity.
• Our UK developments were all on brownfield land, helping to clean up abandoned or under-used sites.
  
• Zero pollution incidents were reported during UK construction activities.
