Environmental Management System
Standard Life has developed an Environmental Management System and reporting
structure based on
ISO
14001, Defra publication 'Environmental Key Performance Indicators'
and the '
FORGE Guidelines for
the Financial Services Sector'. The data and any reports are internally
audited to ensure the accuracy of their content
We have reviewed our UK business operations with regard to our impact on
the environment and have identified the areas of greatest concern. From
this initial survey we have developed an action plan to minimise our local
and global impacts. This plan is set annually and reviewed quarterly at
Director level with the progress report being passed to the Board for discussion
Our
Environment Policy is published
on this website along with any major achievements throughout the year.
Major impacts
As with most companies of our type we have identified our major
impacts as:
- Direct consumption of energy, water and paper
- Balance of waste sent for recycling or landfill
- Indirect impact from purchase of goods or services.

Reporting
From 2006 our annual
Corporate Responsibility
Report will be published with a specific section on environmental
performance and measurement with a view to providing an open and honest
account of our impacts and our progress towards reducing these wherever
possible.
