By 2014, we will report on eco-system impacts where we work.

Sustainability target
• Rank and report eco-system impacts from all activities over £1 million by 2010
• Rank and report impacts of all depots by 2010

We have close links with the University of East Anglia’s (UEA) internationally recognised School of Environmental Sciences. With UEA, we have piloted various projects including measuring the value of carbon stored in trees.

During 2009/10 we equipped our teams with handheld units to report on environmental impacts.

These activities support our view that managing eco-system services (or green assets) will play an increasingly important role in maintaining the UK’s essential infrastructure.
