Those businesses shown in blue are reporting for the first
time and account for approximately 8% (5,400 staff) of total
staff in the Group. The increase in number of businesses reporting
can be expected to inflate the figures compared with those
reported last year.
|
| |
| Data for each business can be found in the individual
business reports. |

| Notes |
| |
The 2001 data presents a more accurate picture of paper
and envelope usage in the UK than in 2000, since it is
based on recorded data and extrapolation, whereas data
for 2000 was necessarily drawn, in part, from estimation
of usage. A further reason for the apparent greater paper
usage in the UK for 2001 compared to 2000 was the enhanced
communication activity caused by the re-branding exercise,
which was completed in the early part of 2001. |
| |
Delta Lloyd provided an estimated paper and envelope
usage in 2000. They have now provided measured data this
year for both 2000 and 2001, the 2000 figure has therefore
been restated an increase of 1,964 tonnes in respect
of paper and 105.6 tonnes in respect of envelopes. |
| |
Morley did not provide paper usage or envelope data
in 2000. |

| Notes |
| |
A new purchasing process has been introduced into the
Norwich Union Central Services function in the UK. The
system now identifies only the supplier with whom we have
live contracts, this, in conjunction with the rationalisation
of suppliers through the merger of the legacy companies,
has caused the change in the number of suppliers recorded. |
| |
In the UK, loss adjusters and motor repairers have not
been contacted about their environmental impact, however
environmental policy clauses have been incorporated into
all their new contracts. These account for 598 of the
Purchasing for Customers suppliers. |
| |
The decrease in spend with suppliers with respect to
customers in the UK is chiefly attributable to a decrease
in weather-related claims and the cost reductions gained
in relation to rationalisation of suppliers. |

| Notes |
| |
*The CO2
tonnes for UK electricity were calculated incorrectly
last year. They have been restated, which represents an
increase by 9,231 tonnes in the figure for 2000. |
| |
In the UK, 5.4 GWh of electricity came from renewable
sources and therefore has zero emissions. |
| |
In addition to the water consumption figure shown above,
CGU France uses 346,969 m3
of cold water (340,070 m3
in 2000) and 3,018 tonnes of steam (2,652 tonnes in 2000)
in respect of the air-conditioning in the head office
complex. |
| |
In addition to the water consumption figure shown above,
Delta Lloyd purchased 1,053 GJ of steam and cold water
for the airconditioning system (616 GJ in 2000). |
| |
UK Gas consumption data is measured for 2001. For 2000,
figures were based on estimation and extrapolation. |
| |
A partial reason for the reduction in gas consumption
in the UK is the scaling down or closure of catering facilities
in line with business needs. |
| |
The increase in water consumption is mainly due to the
contributions from businesses which have not previously
reported – notably Norwich Union Australia. |

| Notes |
| |
2000 UK car fleet kms were a combination of estimated
and extrapolated data, as the legacy Norwich Union did
not keep such records. The figures for 2001 are more accurate
than 2000 as they are based on recorded data and extrapolation. |
| |
The data also includes 3 million car fleet kms from
Hill House Hammond, who are reporting for the first time. |
| |
Norwich Union Australia does not have a car fleet, but
does measure the kms travelled by taxi, both in Australia
and for overseas in 2001 this equated to 2.4 million
kms. |
| |
The combined car fleet data equals 6,832 vehicles
5,843 run on unleaded, 796 run on diesel and 181 LPG or
leaded. |

| Notes |
| |
In the UK, office furniture has been measured in terms
of cost to replace rather than weight this year, this
cost is £563,679 - 17% of this furniture is recycled. |
| |
The liquids waste has greatly reduced, making it less
significant and as such we may not report this at Group
level next year. |
| |
The no. of plastic cups used has increased due to the
introduction of free vend in all ex-NU sites (UK) and
due to reporting from Turkey Life for the first time.
Plastic cups are no longer used in CGU Australia and in
Singapore regional office. |
| |
During 2001, the waste contracts in the UK were rationalised
and in 2002 waste segregation in respect of all paper,
plastic cups and cardboard will be introduced in all locations,
which house more than 200 staff, where a system is not
already in place this will cover approximately 70% of
staff in the UK. A target has been set of reducing the
amount of general waste going to landfill by 10% on 2001
data. |
| |
UK data for cardboard and aluminium cans has not been
reported for this year in respect of the main businesses,
but extrapolated figures will be available next year.
|
| |
The apparent significant increase in the toner cartridges
usage actually reflects a great improvement in the capture
of information on usage in the UK. This is now drawn from
centralised purchasing records. It is expected that this
figure will increase yet further, as more businesses capture
this information. |
| |
Data for general waste has been provided by CGU Canada
and Group Office - totalling 592 tonnes of which 32.2
tonnes from Group Office has been recycled. |
