We strive to reduce our impacts on the environment and recognise that this is becoming an increasingly significant part of our culture and the way we do business. It is also an increasingly important issue for our customers, our communities and, of course, for our employees.
Environmental Management is not something new to Legal & General. Our Chairman, Sir Rob Margetts, has been a strong advocate for several decades and first challenged the business to become a leader in reducing rather than offsetting its impacts back in the early 1990s. We strive to reduce our impacts on the environment and recognise that this is becoming an increasingly significant part of our culture and the way we do business. It is also an increasingly important issue for our customers, our communities and, of course, for our employees.
