KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS		TARGET FOR 2009	Comments	TARGET FOR 2010	Comments	TARGET FOR 2011	Comments
Stakeholder awareness	All staff and members of the Society's governance structure are aware of the Society's EMS and are clear about their role in achieving the targets contained in it.	Feedback survey for staff and Council. 100 per cent awareness. EMS progress updated and published to websites	We held update sessions for staff at each main site during October and November; received good feedback and new ideas for future improvements to our business impact on the environment that we are acting upon. An update to the Law Society's Council featured in the Chief Executive's report. We are planning to develop an on-line training package to maintain awareness.	Monitor awareness and commitment. EMS progress updated and published to websites.	Updates prepared for Council, management meetings and internal websites. Report included in Law Society annual report and published on external website.	Successful achievement of EMS targets and accreditation. Publish results to websites.	Progress is reported to Council, management meetings and internal websites. Information on our environmental activities is also included in Law Society annual report and published on the external website.
Environmental footprint	Progressive reduction in the environmental impact of our operations.	Staged implementation of initiatives deemed to be practical for the Law Society.	For the second year running, the Society's carbon footprint has reduced and currently stands at 2.79 tonnes of CO2 per employee.	Ongoing implementation.	For the third year in succession the Society reduces its carbon footprint. It is now 2.43 tonnes of CO2 equivalent emissions per employee.	Continue the trend to reduce our carbon footprint.	We continue to measure our carbon footprint and hope to achieve a further reduction of 3 per cent.
Energy efficiency	Improved energy efficiency of all sites, including use of power and gas saving at least 25 per cent by 2011.	Undertake (second) major survey of sites and mechanical services. Target further energy savings of 10 per cent by end 2011. Continue to develop and implement plans for alternative or 'green energy'.	Further work has been done to improve the energy efficiency of lighting and heating. One benefit is an overall reduction in gas consumption of 7 per cent. However, increased business activity in certain areas has produced an increase in electricity consumption of 2 per cent. This means that since measuring our consumption in 2007, we have a reduction of 20 per cent and have a target for 2010 of an additional 5 per cent saving.	Further progress on energy savings.	Despite the severe cold weather at the start and end of 2010, energy consumption has been reduced by 7 per cent. This means that we have met our main target and since 2005 have reduced our energy consumption by 25 per cent.	Deliver overall cumulative savings on energy 2005 / 2011 of between 25/30 per cent.	We achieved our main target to reduce energy consumption by 25 per cent at the end of 2010 and saved a further in 2011.
Water reduction	50 per cent reduction in the use of water.	Review and develop further reduction of up to 30 per cent over next three years.	Significant reductions have been made at the Midlands sites since participating in the Rippleffect campaign and the London site will complete this same exercise in Q1, 2010.		We continue to improve facilities and reduce our use of water. We will work hard in 2011 to get close to our target.	Achieve targets for reduction of 30 per cent.	We have introduced water saving devices to all lavatories and wash basins.
Waste and recycling	Reduction in waste with maximum recycling of any unavoidable waste in line with agreed targets.	Progressive implementation of plan.	Waste paper, plastics, cans and glass are recycled. Since 2007 we have saved the equivalent of 3,500 mature trees from recycling paper waste.	Review achievement and formulate second phase plan and targets.	Almost 40 million sheets of paper have been recycled this year; that is the equivalent of saving nearly 900 mature trees.	Achieve targets for waste reduction and recycling.	Recycling successes continue and over the past five years we have recycled almost 750,000 kilos of paper, the equivalent of 3,744 mature trees.
Supply chain management	100 per cent of major suppliers meet environmental criteria specified by the Law Society ie have active EMSs.	80 per cent of major suppliers meet the required standard.	An increasing percentage of the Society's major suppliers have an environmental policy and many have certification to ISO14001 for their environmental management systems. All current suppliers have been advised that we have an environmental policy and it is our intention to develop and introduce a sustainable procurement policy during 2010.	90 per cent of major suppliers meet the required standard.	We are finalising our sustainable procurement policy to introduce in 2011, 100 per cent of current major suppliers have environmental policies and many are compliant with ISO14001 or other known standards.	100 per cent of major suppliers meet the required standard.	A sustainable procurement policy will be introduced in 2012. All current major suppliers have environmental policies and many are compliant with ISO14001 or other known standards.
Carbon neutrality	Active use of carbon trading to achieve carbon neutrality.	Implement relevant schemes and keep under review.	The market for carbon offsetting remains unpredictable, with few fully authorised offset schemes available. We will continue to review the range of options available prior to making a decision in 2011.	Assess outcome and further review to keep on target.	The market for carbon offsetting remains unpredictable, with few fully authorised offset schemes available. We will continue to review the range of options available prior to making a decision in 2011.	Deliver agreed final proportion of offset or credit to make target of carbon neutrality.	The market for carbon offsetting remains unpredictable, with few fully authorised offset schemes available. We will continue to review the range of options available prior to making a decision in 2011.
Recycled paper	Recycled paper for all business use.	75 per cent of all internal paper / letterheads and envelopes to be recycled.	All A4 white paper used is either 100 per cent recycled or an FSC certified product.	85 per cent of all internal paper / letterheads and envelopes to be recycled.	All A4 white paper used is either 100 per cent recycled or an FSC certified product.	Continue to use 100per cent recycled or FSC certified paper products.	All A4 white paper used is either 100 per cent recycled or an FSC certified product.
Paper use	20 per cent reduction in the amount of paper being used.	Reduce no. of printers and faxes by 10 per cent.	This year we have removed 20 per cent of all laser printers and faxes; a further 15 items have been earmarked for removal early next year.	Reduce no. of printers and faxes by 5 per cent.	Since 2005 our consumption of paper has reduced by 23 per cent.	Deliver an overall reduction in paper consumption of 20 per cent.	Paper consumption has fallen by 35 per cent since 2005, a fall of close to 7 million sheets. This also represents a cost saving of 50 per cent.
Printers and faxes	35 per cent reduction in the number of laser printers and faxes.	Reduce no. of printers and faxes by 10 per cent.	This year we have removed 20 per cent of all laser printers and faxes; a further 15 items have been earmarked for removal early next year.	Reduce no. of printers and faxes by 5 per cent.	We have removed over 25 per cent of printers and faxes.	Reduce no. of printers and faxes by 5 per cent ie progressive total reduction of 35 per cent.	We have removed over 25 per cent of printers and faxes.
External accreditation	Achievement of EMS accreditation.	Complete ISO14001 for single site accreditation.	Following a successful stage 1 assessment in December, we are on target to gain full certification of our environmental management system to ISO14001:2004 in Q1 2010.	Review EMS. Develop and implement plan to gain ISO14001 for remaining sites.	This target has now been fully met as all main sites have been successful in gaining compliance with ISO14001. In October we had surveillance visits to ensure that our system remains compliant.	Completion of ISO14401 for other sites. Continue to develop our EMS.	All main sites have been assessed as compliant with ISO14001 and passed surveillance visits in 2011.
