Data collection processes and systems will continue to be reviewed as part of the implementation of our EMS. We expect to seek verification of data collection processes and systems via external bodies as part of
our Environmental Management System (EMS). The EMS is based, or modelled upon, a recognised system and we are currently seeking certification of the EMS to ISO14001 environmental standards by the end of
2006.

officers of accuracy and completeness.

By 31 March 2006, a total of 74 Defra and Executive Agency sites were covered by an EMS
modelled on ISO14001. This represents 85% by staff covered, and includes all main offices.
Although Defra (& EAs) is categorised as a mixed estate, a number of laboratories have been
certified to ISO14001 standard. Some land-managed sites (ex-FMD burial sites) have also been
independently certified to ISO14001. Sites have been excluded from scope if planned for disposal

Following environmental impact assessments it was more sensible to concentrate efforts at those
sites where the most significant environmental impacts were occurring. Also, a number of our sites
are specialist, remote and usually un-manned and would require disproportionate effort to comply
with A3 and A5.. In light of the specialist nature of the DfT estate, our Executive Agencies have
developed programmes to ensure EMS coverage at appropriate sites and to extend coverage to the
rest of the estate where sensible to do so. For example the DVLA EMS is being extended to their 50
local offices during 2006.

We consider that implementing a Corporate EMS will help us to meet current Sustainable
Operations targets and lead to an overall improvement in our performance.We have had difficulties
in gaining the full co-operation of our main PFI contractor for our environmental management
objectives. It has been difficult to gather data and co-ordinate activity on EMS work, which has been
a real barrier to progress. However, a new contractor has now taken over facilities management and
is currently developing systems and processes to support the Department in progressing our
environmental agenda.
The non-office estate comprises prisons and these are not multi occupancy buildings. The FSS plans to run its own seperate EMSs in shared occupancy buildings.
None of the LOD Departments have any mixed or non office sites. CPS Implementation of our EMSs
has been delayed due to internal reorganisation of our Facilities Management Unit. This has resulted
in a transfer of responsibility for the implementation and a skills gap which needs to be addressed.
SFO Being a small department at two locations next door to each other, we can accurately take
readings and analyse trends which can be quickly transferred to a spreadsheet. We are able to
suggest changes which can be quickly considered by management. We are also able to keep

inhouse online tool. We see this as an interim measure, pending a major new FM contract to be
introduced May 2007 which will incorporate a requirement for a robust EMS. NHS PASA: The EMS
is central to ensuring that the Agency maintains consideration of environmental and sustainable
development throughout its operations and decision making processes. The future development of
the system will see a broadening of focus to consider wider sustainable development aspects
alongside Environmental aspects.
Envoy is a workable product but has a number of limiting factors. It is quite cumbersome and time
consuming to use. Resourse, qualified or not, along with funding remains an issue.

We feel that to have a good EMS you must have good data collection and monitoring systems in place. Therefore, and in partnership with our Total Facilities
Management Provider, we appointed a dedicated Energy Manager whose first job was to build on and improve existing data collection and monitoring systems. We now
have comprehensive data collection and monitoring systems in place in respect of utility usage and expenditure which allows us to identify opportunities for
improvement. These systems will be reviewed on a regular basis.

We have gained the support of a Director General (SOB rep Peter Unwin)to write to all CE and RD of the Government Office Network requesting that they take note of
the new targets and assign appropriate resources to achieving them. Internally, we have rolled out bespoke, on-site EMS and ENVOY training to all of our sites to
ensure we met the EMS target. We have also co-ordinated the use of ENVOY across the whole of the estate, for all EMS to ensure a consistant approach to data
collecting. We organised an in-house auditor training course for all sites so each site has a qualified EMS auditor. We have also promoted auditors visiting each others
sites to offer 3rd party audits to widen their auditing experience.
In addition to our office sites, and non-office sites (laboratories etc) we have also sought certification to ISO 14001 for several land managed sites, which the department
used during the Foot & Mouth Disease outbreak in 2001/02. These sites have been very sensitively managed to eliminate risk of ground contamination and promote and
enhance biodiversity. Four sites have acheived certification to ISO 14001. Defra is working with the local Wildlife trust to manage the Watchtree site in Cumbria.

DFID has implemented an EMS at both UK offices. As well as the Environmental team managing our environmental impacts, we have also included environmental
clauses in the Facilities Management contracts at both sites. This means that all data is checked by the Facilities Management team and cross-checked by DFID and is
reported on and discussed formally at each monthly meeting.
DfT
The Vehicle and Operator Services Agency have carried out initial assessments at 20 of their non-office sites. The assessments have identified five clear trends which
have helped in the roll out of further assessment and with the development of specific local site targets and will in due course lead to national targets being developed
for the whole of the Agency estate. The EMS will be largely electronic with local intranets being used to hold data and communicate information. The Highways Agency
are developing an FM contract specification which will require the FM provider to use a recognised EMS. In addition the Agency is working with their FM providers to
ensure their EMS is modelled on the ISO 14001 standard. The Driving Standards Agency is currently trialling a recording scheme in a number of Driving Test Centres to
see how much time it takes and whether this can be extended to cover all Driving Test Centres. The Agency is also looking at ways in which a partial EMS could be
introduced at the Area Offices where they have very few staff or are minor occupiers.

within 18 months of signature. The Army is about to launch their activity based EMS for Army Sites (EMSAS) which outlines the methodology for Army units to
implement EMS. This EMS is different but complementary to the methodology set out in JSP 418. This methodology provides standard sheets to manage up to 19
activities that are commonly found at Army (regular and TA) units, which could have an impact on the environment. The EMSAS methodology simplifies the EMS
process in as much as removes the requirement to assess the environmental risk associated with activities. Instead EMSAS asks units to confirm whether they have
specified activities and, if so, to follow instructions regarding meeting MOD targets and good practice. The benefits of the EMSAS include: Co-ordinated actions to
protect the environment; Improved awareness and response to MOD targets; Better instructions regarding the management of environmental issues; and Less
paperwork, filing and bureaucracy. Where a unit has identified an activity is present, the corresponding leaflet within EMSAS outlines mandatory actions (Requirements
and Actions Plans) and a series of good practices. Electronic access to the EMSAS will be available.

Each of our six sites has its own environmental manager. Each site environmental manager completes a EPI spreadsheet and return for aggregation and analysis by a
corporate environmental manager. Data is compared with previous data collated since 1997 and anomalies examined. Checks for consistency on source data is carried

http://www.sustainable-development.gov.uk/publications/report2003/foreword.htm 05-06 is subject
to external verification but does represent a significant increase on reported 02-03 mileage owing to
changes in the role of a number of our Executive Agencies: The Police Reform Act 2002 allows
Chief Constables to accredit Vehicle and Operator Services Agency staff with the power to stop
goods and passenger vehicles. Traffic Management Act 2004 provides newly created Highways
Agency Traffic Officers with special powers so that they are able to perform certain traffic
management tasks previously carried out by the police. The data at left therefore includes additional
mileage undertaken by these agencies, which did not exist in our 02-03 baseline data. The table
above also includes 4.6 million extra miles undertaken by the GCDA (reported on by Cabinet Office
in 02-03). Given the changing nature of DfT operations when compared to our position in 02-03 this
table does render comparison meaningless. In light of this the DfT is undertaking a review of all its
fleet based operations with a view to setting local Agency targets that will enable the Department to
29,384,857 achieve the revised travel co2 reduction target.

unavoidable. Therefore, we will offset the amount of carbon emitted by these journeys, through supporting innovating projects, such as green

Much of the departments business travel is undertaken by judges and clerks. Circuit Judges attend hearings at various court centres and this
accounts for up to 90% of business travel. There is little then that can be done to reduce this travel as both judges and clerks carry documents for
sensitive court cases, preventing the use of public transport. This is a significant barrier to progress.
Best practice examples include; Interest free loans for bicycles Provision of secure bicycle parking facilities for staff along side lockers and showers.

from contractor was used (either direct miles or cost, which was approximated to mileage assuming the provided 2 per mile conversion rate). For FY
2005/2006, core Defra did not have a separate single account code for Taxi spend. This has since been rectified but it has not been possible to
isolate this expenditure. We have been able to capture MI for our central London HQ taxi service but core Defra data is incomplete. General - We
have assumed all mileage driven in dual fuel vehicles was by petrol where no split provided.
See Social section for more info on Royal Parks . The Royal Parks are committed to reducing non-sustainable transport within the Parks. By the
end of 2002, 29 of the 40 vehicles in The Royal Parks had been converted to LPG. An independent study undertaken by Motorvate has estimated
that this conversion produced a 38% or 120.45 tonne reduction in CO2 emissions. The Royal Parks Central Fleet Manager continues to work
towards a more sustainable transport fleet and has recently been awarded a maximum 5 star award by Motorvate. In addition to the installation of
LPG, The Royal Parks take a holistic view of transport within the Parks, aiming to reduce negative environmental impacts whilst providing access and

voluntary, inclusive group (estab. 24 March 2006) with representation from the SDC, Energy Savings Trust, MOD, HMRC, Environment Agency, DWP,
OGC, DFT & Scottish Executive on the Executive Panel and 50 members from central government and agencies. It welcomes further membership.
Defra was instrumental (with DWP & OGC) in embedding SD criteria in the Pan-Government Travel Contract, developing MIS to faciltate detailed
analysis to provide new opportunities for delivering business in a sustainable way. It also minimises back-end resource within departments, placing
the onus on the contractor and the supply chain to deliver prescribed MIS and results. Defra is also engaged in the delivery of the OGC/DWP PanGovernment Vehicle Contract, ensuring SD criteria is embedded into the procurement process. MIS will be shared across departments that access
the contract. Defra intranet websites promote SD principles, e,g. material from the Focus On Sustainable Travel Campaign (June 2006) was also
used by 25 OGDs, demonstrating the desire within government for material to promote sustainable travel.

In the SDIG 04/05, DFID commented that we did not have an current system for collating taxi mileage but we were rectifying this by introducing an

The above information is in some cases estimated but the Department is taking active steps to address this issue and is organising an external
review of our impacts in this area for the whole of our estate (including our Executive Agencies). This will typically cover our owned / leased fleet, hire
care usage and private car usage and lead to local targets being set to meet or exceed the revised targets recently set for this area. The lessons
learned will be made public and shared with other Government departments.

As from April 2006, two of our fleet cars are now Toyota Prius. DFID also has an on-line car-sharing swop-shop facility and has in recent years
increased the number of bicycle racks and lockers for cyclists at both UK offices. We publish links to public transport sites and timetables on our staff

Forestry Commission England promotes sound environmental management practices in its transport policy. It encourages cycling, walking, sharing of
vehicles, use of smaller more efficient vehicles and alternative fuels. Its sustainable practices in operation of its fleet resulted in an appearance on
BBC Scotlands Landward programme in 2005, winning Scotlands Green Energy Award and getting third place in the innovative category of the
national Green Fleet Award. Biodiesel is currently issued from the Forestry Commissions own bulk tanks and little or none is available from local
filling stations. It is impractical to make bulk supplies available to all vehicles and the lack of availability from filling stations is restricting use of
biodiesel. The absence of a scheme to rebate fuel duty for blended bio-fuel makes it uneconomic to use biodiesel in tractors and other machines.

All vehicles are purchased outright and where possible dual fuel or alternative fuel vehicles such as LPG, Low Emission Diesels, Electric Floats and
vans are purchased. This allows strict maintenance regimes to be applied, and enables compliance with government and European guidelines on
emissions to be strictly adhered to.
We have no car fleet. We have no car park so no one commutes to work by car. We are investigating business mileage.
HMRC
We are a member of the Civil Service Travel Group and we have been actively looking at ways in which we can reduce business travel. We are
developing guidance to encourage staff to think before they travel and use telephone and video conferencing facilities as an alternative. We are
currently auditing both our fleet and grey fleet to identify efficiencies and reduce business mileage and travel related emissions.
DTI HQ caterer is, albeit at early stages, converting his vehicles used on this contract to enable him to convert his used cooking oil into vehicle fuel.
Best Practice initiatives include:
*DWP fleet now has a fully established 4 year vehicle replacement programme. Replacing older fleet vehicles
reduces on going running costs and increases overall fuel efficiency and vehicle safety. *A long established no petrol and EURO IV compliant diesel
vehicles only policies limits harmful emissions. *Removal of under utilised vehicles. *Limits on hire car engine sizes. *Online interactive database
used for fleet customers: DWP has ensured a speedier and more efficient application process as well as ensuring the customer has a method of
instantly amending their personal/vehicle details. Mileage logs are on-line for all customers enabling a more efficient method of monitoring all mileage
logs to ensure all drivers/vehicles are fully compliant with the minimum mileage criteria. The system has the added value of reducing paper usage &
transport miles/costs eliminated. *Promotion of telekits/video conferencing as a travel alternative.
We now have considerable experience in the use of bio diesel in blends from 5% to 100%, and currently operate about 200 vehicles, or 14% of our
fleet, on bio diesel from bulk tanks in 13 locations across GB, with plans for further expansion to additional sites. We are considered to be experts in
the field of alternative low carbon fuels, and routinely give presentations, advice and encouragement to other organisations, both public and private
sector, who are considering use of bio diesel in their fleets. We encourage our staff to use diesel vehicles, and to move to smaller more fuel efficient
engines when they come up for replacement. We have one member of staff whose sole responsibility is the introduction of measures to reduce
carbon dioxide emissions and encourage energy saving and fuel efficiency, and will soon be training local energy champions to roll these practices
out at grass roots level. We have even introduced small scale renewable energy systems, such as wind turbines and wood fuel heating, to trial in
some of our fleet repair workshops.
Both Hanslope Park and Wilton Park are in rural locations not served by public transport. Hanslope Park operates a minibus service to convey staff to
and from Milton Keynes Rail Station, plus two minibuses every day to convey staff to and from Milton Keynes and Northampton. These measures
reduce CO2 emissions, and the environmental impact of road traffic.
We have purchased alternatively fuelled vehicles during 2005-06, all of which are being used effectively, as can be gauged by the 62% increase in

Current data collection and monitoring systems have been significantly improved including the
undertaking of a detailed and thorough review of occupancy figures for our central London estate.
We currently have a number of minor occupiers on our estate. The cost of their utilities consumption
is paid for as part of their service charge. This service charge is calculated on a percentage basis
according to the floor space taken up by the minor occupier. However, the actual utilities usage
figure is not split so we are essentially recording their consumption as our own, hence showing a
disproportionately high figure for our consumption. In order to overcome this, we have used the
percentile values used in the calculation of the service charge to adjust the utilities figure, to more
accurately reflect the amounts used by Cabinet Office. This methodology has been approved by the
50,224 Building Research Establishment (BRE).

water usage during the year is being critically examined. Office refurbishments during the year and
the replacement of cooling towers have been a contributing factor.

NHS PASA: Increase of 18% on previous year due to two water leaks at the Reading office, and
installation of plumbed in cooled water dispensers. Last year's consumption 6.17m3pppa; however,
this excluded visitors and non-desk based contractors. If these are excluded from current year,
consumption is 5.76m3pppa. This represents an overall 6.65% reduction.
Both DTI HQ and Psatents Office experienced significant water leaks during the course of the year.
This years water consumption has reduced against the previous years consumption. 10.2m3 against
8.6m3 this year, which equates to 15.7% reduction. As already stated this is mainly due to the large
scale installation of waterless urinals. Consumption is expected to reduce further as the
programme continues. Consumption has also been estimated for visitors and contractors, giving a
more accurate consumption figure overall.

are shown below: As part of our response last year to the Water target in the Framework for Sustainable Development on the Government Estate, we signed up to the WaterMark project.
This enabled us to validate our water bills with a view to identifying areas for improvement. Using this information we have been working alongside our Total Facilities Management
Provider and have secured the appointment of a dedicated Energy Manager. Recognising that whatever measures we undertake must represent value for money, we have moved ahead
with some Quick Wins. For example: A programme of placing Hippo Bags in the toilet cisterns across our central London estate is nearing completion. In Admiralty Arch this will
potentially make efficiency savings of 925m3 per annum (203,472 gallons or 925,000 litres or a financial saving of 1,319 per annum based upon latest water charges from Thames
Water). Relevant FM staff are being trained in how to use data loggers (to more accurately assess water usage) which have been installed as part of the water audit works mentioned
above. As part of routine maintenance works and all refurbishment projects, there is a rolling programme of exchanging existing and expired water fittings with more water efficient
devices. For example when we recently refurbished the disabled toilet in Admiralty House, various water and energy efficient devices were included. Agreement has been reached with
our Total Facilities Management Provider to only purchase water fittings and white goods (i.e. dishwashers in canteens) which are water and energy efficient. Estate and facilities
managers have been asked to take steps to reduce water usage across the whole estate; e.g. not using hosepipes for watering and cleaning purposes. Staff and contractors will also

The department undertakes a rolling programme of energy and water surveys. These surveys identify where savings can be made and are split into no cost and low cost options, all with a
maximum five-year payback.
Government Office East reported the following.. Dual flush toilets and self stopping taps were included in initial design of the building which was constructed in 2003. In November 2005,
and following a successful trial period, waterless urinals were installed across the building
Ongoing water minimisation strategies include: o mulching around the bases of trees o
mulching shrub beds ochanging the times of day when watering to reduce evaporation i.e. to
first thing in the morning (between 5am and 8am) o
using water from boreholes instead of from the mains e.g. the Diana Fountain o
Hyde Park nursery almost solely uses water
from a well o water retaining gel is used in the beds (seasonal bedding) that are more susceptible to drying o allowing areas of grass to remain longer than normal. This trial will verify
how well longer grass can withstand to drought (i.e. ability to catch dew and ability to withstand wear and tear at dry times) The Royal Parks aim to minimise water use from all sources,
especially mains potable water. Borehole usage will continue to be developed for irrigation purposes
Opportunities are taken during new builds and major refurbishment projects to incorporate water
saving measures - dual/low flush toilets; low-water or waterless urinals; spray, percussion or PIR
controlled taps. As budgets allow, these measures are also being retro-fitted to other buildings. We
are also actively considering the feasibility of installing grey and rain water recycling facilities at sites
on the defra estate.
The DfES is currently in the process of reducing its Estate in London and by 2007 will only be
occupying one Building. In the meantime, occupancy and consumption figures are fluctuating as
staff relocate as part of this exercise. A number of water conservation measures have been installed
over the last year including push-button taps, motion detector taps, taps fitted with spray units to
reduce water flow, water hippos to reduce WC flush volumes and flow controls for urinals.
Facilities Management Team Leaders have been asked to consider what further additional measures
can be taken to reduce water usage. Their proposals will form part of an action plan. Building
managers have been actively monitoring water consumption and as a result one site has identified a
small leak in the system. Overnight readings are occasionally taken to help identify faults and leaks.

On the public sector prisons estate, water use increased by 6.5% in 2005/06 compared to 2004/05.
Some of this increase is due to a higher prison population, but the majority is due to mains leakage.
Drought conditions prevalent over much of the country cause the land to shrink, which puts stress on
water pipes causing them to rupture. Many leaks have been identified and repaired; unfortunately
others have appeared at different establishments. All establishments are required to provide a
monthly water consumption report to headquarters. This means that water meters are read at least Each prison establishment has an annual target for water consumption based on benchmarks developed for prisons as part of the Watermark Initiative. Targets are expressed as litres per
monthly. Many establishments find it desirable to read their meters more frequently, or have installed prisoner per month and performance is assessed against the target using a twelve month rolling average. Establishments are asked to explain any increase of more than 2.5% above the

distribution system, thereby providing an incentive for reducing leakage. We anticipate an overall
annual water saving of over 0.75 million cubic metres through leakage reduction by the end of March
2006. Benchmarking can provide valuable and realistic comparisons. As data become available on
consumption and leakage at our operational bases this can be benchmarked against an interim
figure of 51 cubic meters per person per year and against other defence departments. We are also
working to reduce consumption through improved design and better management of fittings through
better construction processes. A Consumption Reduction Plan to achieve the new SDiG Operational
Targets, as announced in Jun 06, is in development. This requires a reduction of water consumption
(including leakage) of 25 per cent by 2020. This will be dependent upon reducing the size of the
MOD estate to which water is delivered, and reducing the amount of water required by the remaining
MOD estate through leakage reduction work and consumption reduction measures. The main

misleading as our overall tonnage of measurable office waste arising has reduced by 8% in year.
The percentage of that waste that was recycled has increased by one percent. Measuring in tonnes
alone in such circumstance is not the best measure of data capture and does not in fact
demonstrate our improved performance on recycling. Additionally the following were also recycled:
15135 litres waste cooking oil recycled as biodiesel, as opposed to 74880 in the previous year. The
drop in figures has been queried with our PFI partners but they are unable to check data
retrospectively. This reduction may be due in part to the change in the nature of some canteens,
which have reduced the amount of fried foods to support healthy eating initiatives. Others have
scaled down the type of service available to staff, such as supplying only sandwiches and light
lunches, rather than the previous full range of hot and cold food. Litres cannot be added to tonnes

The Cabinet Office will continuously seek ways to reduce its waste production and work with
suppliers to minimise packaging and other waste and prefer products that eliminate or minimise
waste. We will seek to meet waste reduction targets set for the Government Estate by continuing to
separate waste streams, re-use, recycle and compost material wherever possible. We will review
and seek to improve existing systems for monitoring waste streams to move us closer to 100%
separation of recyclable material from our waste stream. The Cabinet Office currently recycles
paper, cardboard, glass, all cans and tins, rigid plastic containers, batteries, aerosols, CDs and
DVDs, mobile phones, fluorescent tubes, toner cartridges and furniture. Recycling bins are provided
in offices for the disposal of paper/cardboard, cans/tins/rigid plastic containers, batteries. An aerosol
recycling bin is provided in the staff gym. Glass, CDs and DVDs, mobile phones, fluorescent tubes,
toner cartridges and furniture are collected and held in secure locations before being sent for

food waste composting scheme in January 2006. This scheme provides safe, hygienic and legally
compliant disposal of food waste generated in the buildings by the restaurants (food preparation &
scraps) and individuals (through tea-point kitchen caddies). All food can be collected, including
(cooked & uncooked) vegetables, fruit, meat, fish, bones, and tea bags, as well as napkins. In the
first three months of operation, approximately 4.5T of food waste was composted across the whole
estate. The scheme operates in partnership with the East London Community Recycling
Partnership (ELCRP). This is the first large scale commercial food composting scheme of its kind in
the UK. It is hoped that the continual success of the scheme will prove to be a model for similar
schemes across Government. Government Office East reported.. We have worked with Honeywell

61 Increase in tonnages mainly due to publications recycling project tonnages.
All sites have been informed of their baseline percentage recycling/composting rate and given
guidance on achieving a 5% p.a. improvement. When quarterly reports are received they are
checked for progress against the annual target. Where they appear to be failing against the target
the reasons are investigated and consideration given to the most appropriate ways of improving
performance. This could include awareness raising for staff, training for the Recycling Champions, or
discussion with waste collection companies. Several sites have already exceeded their recovery
target rate of 75%.
We have established a network of 'Waste Champions' across the estate. Data is collected on a
quarterly basis. Guidance notes have been circulated to standardise data collection methods and
ensure smooth running in the absence of regular Waste Champions. They have been asked to
produce local procedure guides with details of how their data is collected and compiled. This will
provide an auditable 'paper' trail and will ensure consistency and accuracy. Data sheets were
amended in 2005-06 to calculate the amount of waste produced per person in each quarter. This
means that despite the staff numbers changing, we will have an accurate idea about which sites are
reducing their waste production.
This has been a developing year for changes to how we manage our waste collection and
segregation. There are a more wide ranging spread of the different types of waste segregated on the
different sites. The national contract introduced mid year is relatively new and has not yet fulfilled its
potential. It has taken some time for the new procedures to settle down with staff on each site.
Facilities management staff actively explores more sustainable options for disposals considering
landfill as the last resort. Challenging existing methods of sustainable waste disposals will continue
as innovations within the waste recovery industry increase. Converting items to weight continues to
be time consuming when considering the wide range of items for disposal. Improvements to
encourage further staff buy in will be an integral part of the Sustainable Operations Management
System Action Plan.
The department encouraged a number of schemes that ensure that waste recovery achievement is
above the minimum target of 40%. The paper, packaging, equipment and furniture are used more
efficiently through reuse, recycling and reduction of waste that goes to the landfill. Suppliers are
encouraged to demonstrate the latest developments and industry standards to ensure we keep up to
date with what is offered in the market place.
DFID reviewed and changed waste contractors at both offices last year. The new contractors
produce monthly breakdowns of all waste recycled, waste sent to landfill or for incineration.
Figures exclude IT and potential waste that has been reused. Main DH: Figures not directly
comparable with last year (see note in "additional information"). NHS PASA: Reorganisation led to
-31 increased waste disposal requirements (3% up on 2004/5).
Employees are encouraged to segregate in each office area. Our waste contractors source waste
disposal services which maximise recycling opportunities. Figures are not directly comparable with
last year additional waste streams now collected from MT; two buildings have closed and staff
have moved to NKBH, managed by HMRC (not reported here). Also, under new contract (Feb 05)
waste collection figures are more accurate than for previous years.
The weight of total measurable office waste and the weight of measurable office waste recycled
have both decreased. The percentage of the waste that is recycled has been maintained and
increased slightly. Re-use of items is more difficult whilst the estate and staffing levels are reducing
as the demand is not as high. We continue to introduce recycling of all clean waste paper and

Our main PFI contractor, Mapeley is introducing a new approach to report regular data on waste
arising and to also include recycling quantities broken down by waste stream where possible. Data
has been supplied for the purposes of this report using a one-off data collection exercise, but the
new approach will enable us to monitor waste more effectively and explore ways of reducing /
reusing. One difficulty we have is that waste contractors cannot always specify tonnage of waste
recycled at sorting plants nor can they specify categories of waste that they are sorted into. Another
issue is that landlords do not necessarily have full obligations within the terms of the lease to report
waste removed from site. We will however continue to consider ways in which we can improve our
data collection systems for future reports.
Waste removed from majority of our sites is done through a mixture of indirectly employed subcontractors and contractors employed by the site landlord depending on the tenure of the site
(Freehold or Leasehold). Recycling obligations are generally satisfied through waste sorting at
Material Recycling Facilities, but we are currently unable to provide data. A national paper re-cycling
scheme is being introduced in September 2006 and other waste category recycling schemes are
being trialled across the country prior to the end of 2006. For Former Customs & Excise we recycle
toner cartridges via our IT company Fujitsu in all of our offices. 100% of the profits, based on the
difference between new & recycled cartridges, go to the Marie Curie Cancer Charity.All former Inland
Revenue offices can use the Hewlett Packard Planet Partners Printer toner cartridges recycling
scheme. In the year 2005/6 we recycled 11.3 tonnes via this scheme. This represents a significant
improvement on 2004/5 (3.2 tonnes).
in 2004-05 30 prisons recovered or recycled 41.7% of the total household waste arisings from those

have reduced waste on many production lines within ABRO, measurement of these savings is not
robust enough to supply statistical figures. Recycling is a basic tenet of this scheme (after reduce
and re-use). Site-specific initiatives include recycling/re-use of steel drums and cardboard boxes
and we are reasonably confident that the 5% target has been achieved but as with targets D2&3,
measurement is not currently sufficient to endorse this. For historical and geographical reasons, the
separate ABRO sites have always enjoyed a large degree of autonomy. Consequently, it is difficult to
implement systems which are suitable for all sites. For the same reason it is difficult to obtain data
in a standardised format from all sites, and data on waste disposal can differ greatly in terms of
denomination of quantity (i.e. tonnes, drums, skips, cubic metres etc). A great move forward in
commonality throughout ABRO is the partnership with our FM service provider, Alfred McAlpine
Business Services (AMBS). It is envisaged that in time AMBS will take over the management of the
majority of ABRO waste streams, and be responsible for providing accurate statistical analysis. This
will enable us to make informed decisions on how best to manage our waste and to provide
evidence of our performance.
The storage of untreated food waste onboard our vessels has impacts on operational capability as
well as potential health, safety and habitability issues. Bicester Garrison possesses the largest
distribution outlet in the UK. 23 Pioneer Regiment, is the largest producer of waste in the Armys 4th
Division. At the beginning of 2005 waste management for the site cost 132k per annum. Although
recycling was in place in some areas, the level of control was low and the site suffered from flytipping. By implementing waste segregation measures across the Garrison the recycling rate for the
site has almost tripled from 10% to 28% within a year. Despite an overall increase in capacity of
waste receptacles to cope with increased activity on site, the Garrison has realised savings of 24k
per annum by improving bin utilisation and rationalising excess capacity, where possible. The
instances of dumping on site have been significantly reduced through a programme of education,
improved control on the gate and the implementation of incident investigation and a policy of name
and shame which highlights the cost of each incident of mismanagement. 6 million litres of waste
oils recycled. 100 tonnes of acid batteries recycled. Disposal Services Agency provides a crossGovernment disposal service for a wide variety of goods, oils, etc.
Waste collection contractors for all ONS sites provide information to enable reporting against
government targets. Site procedures for waste management systems on each site are discussed
along with best practice at six monthly Green Focus Group meetings.
The waste contractor for our Southport site undertakes hand sorting of all waste enabling us to

DFID underwent two major refurbishments to it's UK estate during the period 1999-2004. Therefore
baseline data before 2004 is an unrealistic representation of normal DFID operations - we have
asked BRE to change our baseline to 2003/2004. DFID energy usage has continued to increase
over the last few years. The main factors for the increase are: additional electricity usage during the
refurbishment works of the East Kilbride (EK) office with the build of an additional annex(completed
Dec 2004 with snagging issues in 2005); significant increases in staffing/workstations during this
time (including consultants and contractors, etc., the total number of workstations in EK has risen
from around 500 to 650 over this period, and from 850 to 1100 workstations in London). We have
also implemented new IT systems, which have resulted in the need for new test and production
environments. Substantial new IT kit is required to support these systems; this is based at our EK
office but also supplies all our overseas estate. All these factors have resulted in significant energy
demands throughout the buildings via the PCs and related equipment, demands on heating/cooling

A high profile energy saving campaign - the BIG SWITCH - was run throughout Defra and Agencies in the months January - March 2006. Building managers and FMs
were given clear guidance on a number of measures including tighter controls on building temperatures. Intranet messages and posters also encouraged staff to take
greater responsibility for making savings by switching off lights and IT equipment when not in use. Although it took effect only during the last quarter of the year under
report, the campaign was successful in some areas, and we are taking forward lessons learned from this exercise to inform progress on the Carbon Management
Programme during 2006/07 and onwards.
Energy saving IT software that shuts off PCs automatically each evening has been introduced in DfES. Defra have indicated their interest and are working with our IT
specialists to consider the feasibility of introducing within their Department if IT compatibility allows.
As a result of the refurbishments DFID is already highly energy efficient(we achieved an "excellent"
and "very good" BREEAM rating for the design of the East Kilbride and London office). DFID has
signed up to the Carbon Trust framework agreement. The CT consultants have conducted energy
audits at both UK offices and concluded that both offices are "well operated and maintained" and are
"inherently energy efficient". They also highlighted that our East Kilbride office is an "excellent
example of a modern highly serviced office building avoiding large ducted ventialtion and cooling
systems".
As DFID energy usage has continued to increase over the last few years, we have now installed sub-meters. This will let us identify areas where there are major
fluctuations in usage and look for any possible savings. At both offices we are reviewing the timers of the highly technical lighting systems to ensure the scene settings
meet staff needs, but are also as energy efficient as possible. We have installed sensors to our roof/car park lights and timers to our boilers at the tea points in London.

15 September. We have asserted that we have met target E1 based on our performance in previous
years, and the reduction in the size of our estate. Barriers to progress include genuine confusion
among staff about whether they should switch off their PCs at night, and ingrained bad habits. This
is being addressed through a combination of staff awareness raising and reports by IT security
following out of hours checks.
Main DH: Reduced ambient temperature in 3 buildings. Replaced ceiling bulbs with low energy type. Commenced campaign to persuade staff to switch off PCs at night.
Arranged for Carbon Trust to conduct energy survey of SKH, WEL and RH (took place June 06) NHS PASA: Energy readings are taken weekly and compared against
bills. Trends are monitored by using energy usage analysis provided by supplier to identify areas for improvement. All staff are made aware of energy saving through
training and periodic inspections of office areas and equipment. We are currently undertaking an energy audit at the Reading office to identify ways of offsetting the
impacts of increased IT requirements. Also planning employee initiative for energy efficiency at all offices.
DTI have investigated, with the Carbon Trust, using micro generation plant located on its buildings.
Additionally, DTI HQ is investigating the feasibility of large capacity wind turbines on its overall
estate. Calculation methodology for E2 does not favour optimising the use of space and
accommodating more people in less space as consumption has inevitably risen in the buildings in
which people have been accommodated. Over all there is an energy reduction in comparison.
DTI has through it Insolvency agency generating electricity through roof mounted PV cells in a glass atrium roof of it London HQ building. DTI has reduced the number
of printers and copiers located around the estate in favour of centralised ICT areas with energy efficient rated equipment. It has introduced energy efficient ICT
equipment and replaced the old CRT monitors with FST replacements. DTI HQ has reduced its overall London accommodation by 30% with corresponding reductions in
its environmental footprint by introducing more efficient use of space through flexible desking (8 workstations for every 10 staff)
The current efficiency challenge within DWP is having a major impact on the number of new staff
and the size of the estate. It is expected that as buildings are disposed of, occupancy levels within
remaining buildings will rise. This may have a negative impact on energy used as additional cooling
may be required. It will also impact on the amount of carbon emissions per square meter. However

Our PFI partners are working to improve the accuracy of billing data through a new initiative to install electronic meter reading equipment in the majority of DWP sites. As
well as avoiding errors from estimated billing, this will provide half hourly utility data and enable any unusual consumption patterns to be identified, leading to better
control of building management systems. Service provider staff are instructed to be energy efficient whilst on our sites, such as utilising lighting efficiently and ensuring
heating for overtime/extended periods of working are controlled and reset. We already have a shared savings arrangement in place which incentivises our Partners by
ensuring they take a share of any energy savings made, whcih is reinvested in further spend to save initiatives. DWP together with our partners are undertaking an
awareness campaign for both staff and offices with specific SD duties. Publicity has been launched on the intranet, which enables staff to access advice and seek
guidance on energy related issues. Energy posters can be downloaded for display in offices and monthly energy reports for individual sites are accessible with staff
being encouraged to check their own performance. Appointed SD champions disseminate information at regional level and are available to answer specific site
enquiries. This approach should show positive benefits in energy management and awareness for the Department.

The department has a rolling programme of energy surveys and energy savings works. This equates to a 1 million investment in energy efficiency. In addition to this
work, the department is also undertaking major refurbishment works at many of the sites transferred to HMCS as part of the unified administration. Work at these sites
considers sustainable improvements to the building and at potential self-generation. For example - CHPs, Micro CHPs, solar and wind energy are all put forward as
options during any refit.
An Energy Efficiency Action Plan has been developed for all head quarter buildings with site specific actions. Regular meetings are held between the Sustainability Team
and the Engineering Team to identify and develop energy efficiency projects.Quarterly out-of-hours environmental surveys are conducted to identify energy usage and

We use most electricity for powering computers and lighting. Electricity is supplied by Edf on a renewable tariff. Currently, 77% of electricity supplied to the Cabinet
Offices core central London estate comes from renewable sources. We are currently considering increasing this to 100%. Nevertheless we will seek to reduce our use
of electricity. We will aim to achieve targets for a reduction in CO2 emissions. In order to achieve these reductions we will:
Install energy saving lights wherever
possible; Purchase energy efficient TFT monitors;
Check non-essential equipment and lights every night and switch off when not in use; Ensure all windows
are closed when heating is on;
Give preference to best of class energy performance when ordering electronic equipment; Encourage staff to set air conditioning
between 190C and 210C this is the optimum comfort zone for most people. We are currently actively undertaking a number of initiatives to improve our energy
management practices and with a view to meeting the new Framework energy targets (including the existing targets E3 & E4). For example, we have signed up to the
Carbon Trust Carbon Management Programme, Energy Efficiency Accreditation Scheme, OGC Energy Efficiency Review. We are also undertaking a number of other

Main DH: The Desk Guide to Procurement provides advice on how to consider the level of importance of sustainable development (SD) for each procurement
exercise. Many contracts in the DH are for consultancy services which has little adverse impact on the environment as these contracts are mainly for advice
and/or policy. Because of this, the level of importance given to SD issues by people responsible for these procurement exercises is low. The procurement
pages on our intranet now include advice on SD, and link to other relevant web pages within the DH and other government departments. The revised
Expression of Interest (EOI) Questionnaire now requires suppliers to provide details of SD within their organisation. However, as DH procurement support is
now provided through the NHS Purchasing and Supply Agency (PASA), further development of the SD guidance will be carried out in conjunction with advice
from PASA. The need to be more proactive in ensuring all our procurement activities are sustainable is a major focus of our 2006 Departmental SD Action

procurement can help us achieve our savings through our Efficiency Programme, and, beyond this, in our business-as-usual activities, allowing us to apply
such savings to delivery of our core objectives. However, coupled with this is the perception by some that sustainable products are generally more expensive
and less readily available. Although we can promulgate the accepted principle that energy efficient goods can reduce whole life costs, initial capital
investment can create difficulties. This is probably the single most important barrier to progress as we see it. Furthermore, if the benefits of sustainable
products are not realised within the period of a Spending Review it makes it harder for Departments to obtain settlements from HMT that allow for the up-front
costs or capital investment. Availability of sustainable goods is less of a problem in the UK and we make use of the Sustainable Procurement Groups

Answer above refers to Royal Parks only The Royal Parks have tendered for 2 PFI/PPP style
projects. These include a new build sports facility at Regents Park and the redevelopment of
Richmond Park Golf Course. Both projects require the design and build of a new clubhouse and the
capital value of both projects are in the region of 2m each. As these are PFI/PPP projects they will
be designed and built by the newly appointed operator who will also operate the facility. As such the
Royal Parks have set out within the specification the design requirements which also included an
element of sustainability. Bids for the Regents Park project were received prior to December 2005
but the design is still in development and for the Richmond Park project the bids were received after
December 2005 and again these design proposals are still being worked up.
Yes
sports facility issues of sustainability and energy saving have been extremely important. The design
has been detailed fully in accordance with the latest revisions of the Building Regulations Approved
Documents particularly the new revisions Conservation of Fuel and Power. The building is therefore
insulated to the latest standards required to prevent unwanted heat loss, cold-bridges and air
leakage through the fabric. This reduces energy consumption for internal heating. As part of the
design sustainability has been considered as reflected by the inclusion of a green roof as an
example. Richmond Park A Sustainable Approach The proposal for the new Clubhouse has been
designed with environmental and sustainability issues to the fore. Our sustainable design matrix sets
out the environmental measures that we are proposing to incorporate into the building and covers
aspects of passive design, building systems, water management, landscaping, materials and social
sustainability. Suggested initiatives include:
The collection and conservation of water in
building and landscape; Ground source heating pumps to warm and cool the building;
Proposing timber structure and cladding that are from sustainable sources and a sedum roof;

Sustainable development considerations are incorporated into routine maintenance works and all
refurbishment projects. There is a rolling programme of exchanging existing and expired water
fittings with more water efficient devices. For example, we recently refurbished the disabled toilet in
Admiralty House with various water and energy efficient devices. Agreement has been reached
with our Total Facilities Management Provider to only purchase water fittings and white goods (i.e.
dishwashers in canteens) which are water and energy efficient.

Our estate managers have been trained to look at sustainability regardless of the scale of the
project. Energy and water efficiencies are always considered as well as other SD commitments.
This year we have ensured that comprehensive chapters on sustainability have been incorporated into the Court Standards Design Guide and the Estate
Management Manual. These documents are used in the design of any new court or refurbishment of an existing court and the management of the estate
by our managing agents.
The approach to BRE for a Court Specific BREEAM has been our biggest achievement. This takes into account the uniqueness of court buildings and removes aspects
of contention that appear in office BREEAM which within a court are unacceptable. For example, natural ventilation in cells.

an Environmental Management System and are ISO 14001 compliant; they recycle approximately
65% of the material used. They also have a dedicated timber policy in place and a dedicated
environment manager to support project teams. We also invited representatives from our
100 environmental champions group to make representations at the various stakeholder groups
Re Royal Parks The Royal Parks believe that it is very important to adopt sustainable development considerations into all that we do. For instance in the
last 5 years we have invested in sinking three boreholes so that we can reduce our consumption of potable water, and in 2005 we won the Public Sector
Green Fleet Award. Since 2000 we have opened three significant new build constructions in the parks - The Attendant building and toilets in the Diana,
Princess of Wales Memorial Playground, the Regents Park Sports Pavilion (The Hub) and a new restaurant in St. James's Park (Inn the Park). All of these
have incorporated significant sustainable construction elements in their design. For instance all of them incorporate green roofs and benefit from the
additional levels of insulation that these provide. In 2004 we commenced design of a new Welcome Centre in Bushy Park and this will incorporate many
sustainable features - a wood fired boiler using wood harvested from the estate; maximisation of passive and active solar design; maximising the use of
natural ventilation and daylighting; use of sustainable low-risk materials; rainwater harvesting and the use of waterless urinals in the public toilets;
minimising the impact in the ground through the use of helical screw piles. Additionally the siting of the facility has been very carefully considered and will
enable us to close a car-park in the core of the historic parkland which improves visitor safety, improves the quality of the historic parkland and reduces
the deleterious effect of foot traffic and dog faeces upon the regionally important habitat that is the acid-free grassland.
The Royal Parks are very conscious of the impact of construction proposals upon the Parks and seek to utilise ways of reducing adverse impacts and creating positive
opportunities. One method of doing this is to secure contributions from members of the public when designing significant new public buildings. For instance the design of
the Welcome Centre project (part of the Bushy Park Restoration Programme) involved a consultation and engagement process of over thirty meetings. The project was
discussed at all stages of its design. This resulted in a number of significant alterations to the siting and the design, and should mean that it will be fitter for use and will
benefit from greater acceptance in what is a sensitive location. This in turn should translate into more income being generated through the catering outlet, making the
building more sustainable financially as well.

All works undertaken on the Defra estate are planned with sustainability considerations in mind.
Opportunities are taken to improve performance against targets wherever possible.
All Project Sponsors set high standards for SD in new build and refurbishment projects. They are fully attuned to the need to design in particular for longterm water and energy efficiency, and if possible self generation. They work closely on all projects with consultants acting as SD 'champions', who advise
on emerging technologies and provide an independent review for the design teams. Considerations at design stage cover a comprehensive list of SD
options. Each is considered for its benefits and suitability for the site and is prioritised according to funding for the project. Detailed sustainability charters
are developed for all major projects.
The Mills building at Veterinary Laboratories agency was opened by Ben Bradshaw, Defra's Minister for Local Environment, Marine and Animal Welfare on 3 November
2005. It is one of VLA's most innovative buildings. It incorporates many SD features and has achieved a BREEAM Excellence Rating, the highest ever bespoke
assessment. The building was tested on a number of aspects including design, building materials and running efficiency. The building won the 2006 RICS SE Region
Sustainability Award. SD features in the major refurbishment work to the London Nobel House building led to it winning the RICS London Region Sustainability Award
(from 36 entrants). High standards of sustainable construction gained Defra's Whitehall Place Building the RICS national Sustainability award for 2005.
Recent refurbishment work has included new push button tap controls, water hippos to reduce WC
flush volumes and flow controls for urinals. Office refurbishment Projects have included more
efficient fan coil units and carpet fitted that has a BREEAM A rating. The benefits of these
installations will be presented in the next Annual Return. Other minor refurbishments include office
moves and the building or removal of partition walls for offices. We try to re-use as much material
as possible e.g. glass walls and doors and discuss the provision of new materials with suppliers to
encourage sustainability.
The use of materials from sustainable sources is of great importance to the DfES as is the avoidance of environmentally damaging material. This
approach is communicated to our partners and service providers through clauses contained in our contracts.

value 10 million per annum). This form of contract is supported by Constructing Excellence and VOSA recently gave a talk at one of their annual conferences. The
contract focuses on risks and gives VOSA the opportunity to risk share thus reducing project costs. By closely working with the suppliers and sub - contractors they have
been able to drill down through the costs and risks to extract efficiencies. The collaborative working has meant that that the team has been able to take 'risks' where
otherwise they may have not - this has had a high impact of sustainability of the projects and introduced many more environmental features to their buildings.
Engineers have been tasked with designing buildings that are more energy efficient than their predecessors by installing technology which is less energy intensive i.e.
Passive Stack Ventilation, automatic light activation in the test hall, intelligent central heating systems that control heating levels throughout the building, improved
natural lighting to test halls lanes, improved thermal properties of offices, and at Grantham and Newcastle Goods Vehicle Test Stations, the introduction of wind turbines.
It is expected that this approach will reduce whole life costs and construction waste by 50% over the full project term.

Over the last five years we have changed the nature of contracting for construction and maintenance through the development and implementation of
Prime Contracting. We have in place fewer, larger contracts than before, employing principal contractors to manage the whole supply chain. Client project
teams have brought together end-user, relevant commercial and professional expertise through collaborative working. Emphasis is now placed on
minimising whole-life rather than just construction costs. With support from industry experts we have been developing an in-house environmental
performance assessment tool called the Defence Related Environmental Assessment Methodology (DREAM). It will help to integrate sustainable
development considerations into defence new build and refurbishment projects. It will be officially launched in 2006. DREAM is a web based IS

The Royal Parks are unable to answer in these terms. They have one SSSI with 15 units, its
principal interest features are its areas of Lowland Acid Grassland and its invertebrate interest
especially its saproxylic fauna. EN has this year reassessed these units in terms of one interest
feature only the Lowland Acid Grassland. Following reassessment, each of the grassland areas
are considered to be in unfavourable condition due to low frequency of positive indicator species
and excessive sward height. Most of the other quality target criteria (low frequencies of negative
indicators) were met however. No recent re-evaluations of the invertebrate interest features have
taken place, but they would judge (from current work on the saproxylic fauna, and moth trapping)
that the SSSI would be found to be favourable with regard to this interest feature.

At a Forest District level best practice is achieved through: - Local policies for the reduction of
disturbance to biodiversity interests during routing operations and the completion of detailed
environmental assessments - Recording presence of species, priority habitats and monitoring
restoration of key habitats such as Ancient Woodland - Working with advice from and consultation
with conservation organisations and agencies At a National Level best practice is achieved through:

All our designated sites whether they are SSSIs, SACs or SPAs or locally designated SINCs have a
dedicated BAP, which is linked into the UK BAP structure. All other sites which are not designated
but may still have biodiversity significance including those inner city sites which may have industrial
or brown field as a priority will still have implemented a Biodiversity Managment Plan (BMP) albeit
this may be limited to just a Habitat Action Plan (HAP). Significant barriers would be the
implementation of the prisons multi-million pound building programme for refurbishment and
development projects, which inevitably will have some effect on habitats and species. However,
sustainable development is now core within programme delivery and all aspects of sustainable
development including biodiversity are taken into account throughout the building process. The
Prison Service following a 12 month pilot scheme for an environmental manual, is now looking to
implement an Environmental Manual at all of its sites which will assess not just the waste and
recycling issues as well as the energy and water conservation issues but more importantly the
protection of flora and fauna.

Main DH: One practical example is an employee health event that was held last year. Following the publication of the Choosing Health white paper we identified a range
of interventions that could be used to support the health and well-being of our staff. This culminated in 2 events where we promoted a range of new initiatives including
Health y eating, physical activity, Occupational Health tests etc . These events were hugely successful and we are planning to build on them this year in conjunction with
a new Occupational Health provider.
The Investors in People Standard significantly contributes to the social and economic strands of social development. The Food Standards Agency
successfully obtained Investors in People (IiP) accreditation in 2004 and we are committed to maintaining this external validation of our business
practices. The Food Standards Agency is due to undertake re-assessment against the new IiP standard by the end of 2006. We have an active group
of staff who cycle to work, and we support this with by providing racks and shower facilities. We have a sports and social club, where staff can take
part in Yoga and Tai Chi. The Agency has a subsidised gym membership. Health Checks are also carried out free of charge.
A draft Corporate Responsibility Strategic Framework document has been agreed by the CR Steering Group and will now be considered by the Board
at their meeting in September 06. This sets out what CR means for HMRC and how it will be taken forward including actions required and
performance measures. At the same September meeting the Board will be considering the development of a possible 'flagship programme' for HMRC.
Our new Departmental CR adviser is helping to take all this forward and will also be looking to develop a CR planning template for business units to
use when considering their own CR plans. The Boards endorsement of the Strategic Framework and flagship programme will enable the existing
volunteering policies for former Inland Revenue and former Customs and Excise staff to be replaced by a new HMRC volunteering policy and will also
provide focus to the volunteering/community activity currently being carried out across the Department. The Department conducts full risk and
environmental impact assessments on any changes to our estate or business that will impact on our staff, customers or local communities in which we Participation in the Business in the Community annual CR Index 87th place in 2005 and the only Government Department to feature in the top 100.

Within the Treasury a number of teams undertake volunteering and contribute to community based projects as part of team building. The Treasury is
working on a new Volunteering programme to incorporate into mainstream practice at the workplace.
Home office staff are encouraged to take part in volunteering under the banner of a scheme entitled "the Out of Office Experience". Staff are allowed
to take up to five days' paid special leave per annum to take part in volunteering activities. Take up of special leave for this purpose is not currently
monitored, although we are about to launch a short questionnaire on the intranet to gauge roughly the level of participation. The Home Office is a
member of Westminster Time and Talents, an organisation which matches volunteering activities to potential volunteers in the Westminster area. We
have initiated a programme of monthly visits from charities to staff a stall over lunch time in the foyer of 2MS. There is a programme of short-term
funded secondments to the voluntery sector for Home Office staff - up to fifty per year. The Home Office employee volunteering strategy was
refreshed earlier in the year.
Ramp access is available to the building along with rails and anti slip treads. We are modernising our disabled toilet facility to allow access for
motorised wheelchairs. All our sensitive waste paper is subjected to recycling and spent light tubes are disposed of appropriately. Redundant
computer equipment which was serviceable was redistributed to schools, so enabling it to be used to the end of its effective life. HMCPSI All Printer
cartridges are collected and donated to the Civil Service Benevolent Fund. Members of staff are also encouraged to become involved in local charities
such as the scheme asking members of staff to make a small monetary donation to charity in return for chilled soft drinks. RCPO During 2005/06
RCPO equipped it's main office in London with new shower facilities for staff who cycle to the office or undertake exercise at lunchtime to use. One of
the buildings major government tenants (DoH) have also equipped the building with new gym facilities and these have been made available for use by
all members of the Civil Service Sports club. AGO We actively encourage staff to take part in volunteer work. During the last year we have provide free
a medical for all staff that wanted one. We also provide childcare during the school holidays Tsol none
called out to deal with devices left over from the two World Wars, all of which require quick and safe disposal. The Meteorological Office The Met
Office provides a weather forecasting service for the military and civilian community. It produces the weather reports and updates which we see on our
television screens every day. The Met Office is a world leader in modelling climate change. The UK Hydrographic Office The UK Hydrographic Office
provides nautical maps and charts for both the national and international maritime community. Post Conflict Recovery Unit This interdepartmental
Unit was established by MoD, Foreign and Commonwealth Office and Department for International Development in September 2004 to improve the
United Kingdoms capacity to deal with post conflict stabilisation. MoD makes grants-in-aid of over 14M a year to the national museums for all three
Services, and owns a wide range of historically significant assets. These include such unique items as HMS Victory, recently declared a national
treasure and one of 100 Icons of England, and the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, as well as over 1,500 items of fine art and antiques in the MoD Art
Collection.
Examples of volunteering activity in the community undertaken by Home Office staff include: Tower Hamlets Bio-diversity Project - clearing an area of woodland for replanting; British Trust for Conservation Volunteers - clearing and surveying litter along the coast; Queen Elizabeth Country Park - practical conservation and
management of wildlife;
HMCPSI Members of staff are encouraged to take their own initiative and participate in existing recycling schemes and to set up new ones such as the can and plastic
bottle recycling
Conservation Group at Leconfield Defence School of Transport, Yorkshire. The trails include car park boards detailing the routes and photographs of some of the
species likely to be seen. The aim of the project is to encourage an interest in the various conservation initiatives on site, to foster environmental education and
knowledge of the work that takes place on the site. The trails are to be used by staff, students, dependants and hosted visitors. Although not open to the public, the
Conservation Group is willing to support local schools and groups with organised visits. The Defence Training Estate South West is hosting two Heritage Open Days
at Okehampton Battle Camp for the third year running. Not only do they provide an opportunity for staff and military to explain how the area is used and cared for, but
other events and displays cater to a wide range of public interest. The training area also hosts visits from special interest groups, and staff give talks to local groups
such as the Women's' Institute. Defence Estates in association with the Northumberland National Park Authority are delivering a significant visitor information project
relating on Otterburn Training Area. The outputs of this project comprise: 22 external/internal interpretation panels DVD web site suite of leaflets all aimed at
promoting safe access and recreational opportunities on the defence estate for the local and wider community.
