81% of Partnership’s operational waste diverted from landfill


20% reduction in Waitrose’s refrigeration and cooling direct emissions since 2008/09


The Partnership view


It’s clear that securing a sustainable environment will help to ensure the continuity of future generations and of our business.


“For our business, the evidence is compelling enough and we know that we cannot continue as we are – we must find more ways to be less wasteful and more respectful of our planet as a whole.”


NIGEL KEEN, DIRECTOR PROPERTY SERVICES, JOHN LEWIS PARTNERSHIP


We have set a target to achieve a 15% absolute reduction in our operational carbon dioxide equivalent emissions by 2020/21, against a 2010/11 baseline. Our carbon reduction plan includes aims and initiatives to:


• develop renewable energy generation centres at our shops and continue to improve our energy efficiency


• minimise our refrigeration and cooling direct emissions


• explore alternative fuels for our transport and distribution


• monitor and manage water consumption


• reduce waste to landfill.


Our responsible development programme, which complements our carbon reduction plan, has led to greater understanding of the environmental impact of our construction work. For example on average in 2010, we recycled 95% of our construction waste and scored 35 out of 40 under the Considerate Constructors Scheme.
