Bradford & Bingley has been committed to reducing its environmental impact for a number of years now and, in previous reports, we detailed how various departments across the Group had become CarbonNeutral®.
This journey culminated on 1st January 2007 when the whole of the Bradford & Bingley Group became CarbonNeutral®. In addition to offsetting our carbon emissions, however, we have also committed to reducing total carbon emissions across the business.
Our electricity contract for our Head Office sites in Bingley and Crossflatts and our entire branch network is for 100% renewable energy, reducing our ongoing carbon emissions by 70%.
We continue to develop our Environmental Key Performance Indicators and Targets and have based those indicators on the Reporting Guidelines for UK Business published by the Department of Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (2005).
For ease of use, we continue to break down our environmental reporting into the following significant areas for Bradford & Bingley:
CarbonNeutral
Energy consumption
Water
Transportation
Waste management
Property design and management
Procurement and supply chain
