The SDC’s key commentary, challenges & recommendations
DWP is undertaking a number of new initiatives to ensure the current improving trend in emissions from offices is maintained, including estate rationalisation, energy efficiency, copier adjustments, onsite wind turbines and CHP. DWP has a number of initiatives to further reduce vehicle emissions including hire vehicle CO2 reductions, grey fleet mileage reduction, greener official and PUS vehicles. For further water reductions DWP is using Automated Meter Reading (AMR) and improved housekeeping, as well as a “Flushwiser” installation. Maintaining current progress in waste reduction will be a challenge for DWP with the
increased demand on its frontline services. Waste and recycling initiatives include total paper recycling, improved management information and a recycle campaign. DWP undertook 8 major refurbishments in 2008/2009, although 7 of these were redecorations with no scope to improve the buildings performance, so BREEAM assessments were not carried out. The remaining major refurbishment undertaken was subject to a BREEAM assessment and DWP is currently awaiting the results of this. In 2008/2009 DWP no longer owned or managed any SSSIs, having disposed of the one site previously reported.
Summary of departmental feedback
DWP stated that energy consumption has fallen by 15% since 2007/2008. This is despite rising demands on services due to the current economy, which has led to an 80% increase in Jobcentre Plus customers, requiring more staff and longer opening hours. Achievements are attributable to the ongoing rollout of AMR for electricity, gas and water and the ongoing investment in low-carbon technology. Other ongoing projects include the installation of a CHP plant at its largest site. Travel avoidance is supported by upgrading and increasing video/audio conferencing equipment. There is a commitment to continue to raise SD
awareness amongst staff, customers and suppliers. The application of the mandatory DWP Sustainable Procurement Risk Assessment Methodology, focused specifications, terms and conditions, enabling progress towards becoming a sustainable procurement exemplar. DWP expects to achieve Level 3 on the Flexible Framework by the end of 2009. It has also gone beyond the mandate on Key Work Objectives for selected staff by introducing sustainability into the competencies for all DWP staff. The “Community 5000” scheme has delivered 5,047 days of official volunteering placements.

3.12 Export Credits Guarantee Department (ECGD)
ECGD has continued to perform strongly
•
on its operational targets, maintaining the maximum 5 stars rating in
2008/2009. It has also maintained 4 stars for the SPAP commitments. ECGD has only ever been scored against one mandated mechanism, EMS. Unfortunately this score has gone from a green to a red and so has dropped ECGD’s star rating from a maximum of 5 to none.
In 2008/2009, ECGD reported a
•
remarkable continuing improvement in the reduction of carbon emissions from administrative road vehicles and in water consumption. The SDC would like to better understand how these were achieved so that the lessons learned may be passed on to other departments struggling to meet these targets.
ECGD scored a Not Applicable for the
•
Carbon Trust target because the size of estate was considered too small to qualify. The SDC encourages ECGD to adopt an equivalent whole organisation approach to carbon management.
ECGD does not have a certified EMS
•
in place for either of its locations (however Harbour Exchange Square is covered by a non-certified EMS). This is despite stating in 2007/2008 that 98.6% of staff were covered. The SDC would like more context around this change to better understand what happened. The SDC understands that ECGD is currently liaising with Envirowise to develop an EMS. The SDC is pleased to see that all
•
purchasing contracts for paper products now contain clauses requiring at least 50% post-consumer waste for coated and uncoated printing papers and 70% for copier paper as per the OGC Recycled Printing Paper Framework. ECGD must put systems in place to
•
better measure waste arisings by working with its landlord. This also brings into question how accurate the reported recycling figures are. Other departments have been able to overcome the challenges of multi- tenanted offices.
