Sustainable developmentThe CSR strategy incorporates a sustainable development action plan because we consider our environmental responsibilities alongside our wider social responsibilities and include them as an integral part of our CSR policy and strategy. A notable success has been our retaining their ISO 14001 accreditation. A number of local offices have also won sustainability awards over recent years for their energy and environmental management systems and innovations in recycling.
We intend to launch an employee-volunteering scheme and review our procurement procedures to ensure that they are sustainable.
We recognise that our ongoing activities at Land Registry have an impact on the environment. We are committed to: - compliance with all relevant environmental legislation and key government objectives that affect the activities of the organisation
- the prevention of pollution from our activities
- continuous review and improvement of our environmental performance
- integration of environmental policy into future business decisions and working practice changes.
In particular, we will achieve these through: - taking the environment into consideration in the ways in which we operate and the goods and services we procure, giving due consideration to environmental legislation
- reducing consumption of gas, electricity and water and other resources with an emphasis on achieving central government targets relating to sustainability
- implementing a strategic travel plan to achieve a reduction in single car occupancy, business miles travelled by road and CO2 emissions.
