Our environmental performance

How we measure and manage our environmental impact and greenhouse gas emissions.

We're committed to improving our environmental performance and achieving important milestones.

Monitoring our environmental impact and performance

Our environmental management system identifies, monitors and controls our environmental impact and performance. This includes our offices, laboratory and field-based operations.

We also monitor the activities of our buildings, including:

  • energy and use
  • materials and waste management
  • transport
  • purchasing activities.

Carbon neutral since 2005

Our carbon management principles help us manage our greenhouse gas emissions. We:

  • buy only carbon offsets approved in the Climate Active Carbon Neutral Standard
  • use global standards to measure our carbon footprint.

We measure emissions resulting from our work and from businesses in our supply chain – for example, car and boat fuel, catering and taxi travel. We also assess the energy we buy.

We measure our greenhouse gas emissions using:

  • activity data to measure the intensity of an activity
  • quantification methods to calculate the emission quantity.

We get external proof that our greenhouse gas record is correct. We also make sure external sources assess our greenhouse gas management plan.

Our Greenhouse gas inventory and management plan has more information.
