Certification of our environmental management systems ensures that our environmental risks are managed and our performance and legal compliance are maintained. In 2008, the following business functions were certified to ISO 14001:
- Provision of Facilities Management (all major UK occupied sites)
- Corporate Procurement
- Property Management Services.
Legal & General maintains internal processes for monitoring compliance with UK environmental law. We have not been subject to prosecution for non-compliance with environmental legislation.
With energy use increasing through our leasing of One Coleman Street, London, our first priority in 2008 was to extend our ISO 14001 certificate to that office (achieved April 2008), undertake energy audits and put in place action plans to start reducing our impacts.
