	Summary Current status We actively manage the environmental impact of our sites and projects We ask all our operations to comply with ISO1400 and many have gone further, gaining independent certification Many of our activities have a positive impact - for instance new waste management or energy technologies We are also beginning to extend more services in this area to customers. Challenges We need to do more to achieve our goal of zero enforcement actions We can take more positive steps to improve the environment, rather than just minimising harm We need to find measures of environmental performance that make better sense in a business context. We will have to do more in 2005 to ensure we are using meaningful key performance indicators. The main way we manage environmental performance at present is through an ISO 14001 compliant framework. We ask all our operations to comply with this system and many of our businesses have gone further, gaining independent certification to this standard. Overall we have seen an improvement in the coverage of ISO 14001 and 87 per cent of our employees are covered by a compliant environmental management system, which was a positive step forward in 2004. However, we have failed to achieve our target of zero enforcement actions as our UK businesses were served with two noise abatement notices. This was a slight improvement on last year’s performance but highlights the need to apply consistently high environmental standards to our projects.
