In the last issue of Lodders Life, we highlighted how our Environmental Group, led by our operations director Alexis Nicholls, is working to reduce our carbon footprint and create a cleaner working environment.

We are pleased to report that good progress has been made, with our latest carbon assessment showing a significant initial reduction in carbon emissions year-on-year. Over the past 12 months, we have:

• Reduced our carbon emissions by just over 10 percent, from 24.3 tonnes to 18.1 tonnes

• Replaced old boilers with energyefficient ones

• Installed LED lighting and improved temperature control facilities throughout our offices

• Reduced our gas and electricity consumption by 25 percent

• Introduced an electric vehicle scheme to minimise emissions from travelling

• Encouraged car sharing (otherwise known as ‘the fun bus’!)

• Planted 550 trees, estimated to provide a minimum of 29 tonnes of carbon storage

Alexis commented: “During 2023 and 2024 we will continue to invest in reducing our carbon footprint, including further energy efficiencies, more focus on car sharing, and ongoing education for all our team members. We recognise that there is a lot left to do, but we are pleased to be heading in the right direction towards creating a cleaner environment.”
