ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½
goes "wild" on environmental reporting
Today
the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ published its third annual environment report adopting a
magazine-style format using a wildlife theme to help illustrate
the issues.
ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½
personalities have given their views on environmental concerns and
stories of environmental projects from around the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ are included.
The
ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ launched "swapshop", an online message board for staff
to exchange unwanted office items, carried out a "desk de-clutter
day" as part of World Environment Day and piloted a car-sharing
scheme in Cardiff.
Launching
the 2003 Environment Report, Greg Dyke, ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Director-General,
said: "This report is an important example of the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s commitment
to clear and direct reporting of our wider impact on society.
"We've
made improvements to the way we collect and report performance indicators
which demonstrates, for example, substantial improvements in waste
recycling and in understanding our supply chains."
A focus
remains on using hard data to demonstrate the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s performance
in the key areas of waste, energy, transport, supply chain, buildings
and technology.
Significant
improvements have been made over the last 12 months with a three
per cent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions (as carbon dioxide)
per hour of broadcasting.
32%
of the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s waste is now recycled, up from 17% in 2002.
20%
of the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s fleet now runs on green fuels (Liquid Petroleum Gas).
