2. Introduction Project Background 2007-2009
Strategic Resource Assessment
Sustainability Reporting
Environmental Sustainability – Key Performance Indicators
Implementation
The Environmental Performance Tool
Final Considerations

3. Strategic Resource Assessment
To monitor resources, energy consumption and wastage
To reduce costs through implementation of invest to save programmes
To establish baselines for the monitoring of performance
Means to define and report on areas of improvement / decline

4. Sustainability Reporting
To publicly communicate our economic, environmental and social performance.
To manage our impact on sustainable development
To measure, track and improve our performance on specific issues
Promotes transparency and accountability
The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI): The world’s de facto standard in sustainability reporting guidelines.

5. Environmental Sustainability - Key Performance Indicators
GRI Environmental Performance Indicators
Materials (consumption & percentage recycled)
Energy (direct & indirect consumption)
Water (consumption and discharges)
Biodiversity (protected areas / impacts / management)
Emissions & Waste (greenhouse gases, hazardous waste etc)
Products and Services (impact of response & third party supply chains)
Compliance (fines, complaints, non-monetary sanctions)
Transport (direct / indirect - fleet, business, staff etc)
Other (investments, efficiency initiatives, risks etc)

6. Environmental Sustainability - Key Performance Indicators
Quantified and normalised metrics, per m2 or per full time employee (FTE) e.g.
Energy usage in kWh / GJ
Water consumption in m3
Materials / fuel consumption in tonnes / litres
Waste disposal in tonnes
Carbon quantification in tonnes CO2 equivalents
Other – financial £ invested / expended
Qualitative metrics (e.g. Biodiversity Action Plans)
Tracked annually, with percentage change recorded and performance scored.

7. Implementation
Audits, research, surveys, data collection and establishing data gaps
Staffing and floor space assessments
Choosing appropriate eKPI Core and Non Core GRI Indicators
Analysis of information and annual sustainability reporting
Sound base for supporting invest to save initiatives
Useful for raising awareness
Synergy with Environmental Management Systems – continual improvement
Synergy with KLOE 3.1 – Use of natural resources
