Measuring our progress<br />
One of our key environmental measures is to<br />
understand our progress in lowering our carbon<br />
footprint by measuring the amount of energy<br />
it takes to produce a product. This is a simple<br />
but effective measure that removes demand<br />
fluctuations and clearly shows the energy<br />
used per product produced.<br />

offsetting<br />
Foster calculated the CO2<br />
emissions of our paper usage<br />
in the year 2010/11 to be the<br />
equivalent of twelve trees.<br />
We partnered with a local<br />
school and provided trees<br />
for the children to plant.<br />

We encourage our staff to<br />
reduce their paper usage<br />
and what we use from now<br />
on we will offset on an<br />
annual basis.<br />
