Our Approach<br />

Bunzl CHS has been focusing on<br />

sustainability for over 10 years.<br />

Our journey as a sustainable supplier first began<br />

in 2005, and was validated with the achievement<br />

of ISO 14001 in January 2006.<br />

From this, Bunzl CHS looked at waste, water,<br />

electricity, carbon footprint, product sourcing and<br />

finally, became Gold members of the FM Supply<br />

Chain <strong>Sustainability</strong> School in 2015.<br />

2016 Highlights<br />

Reduction in combined diesel usage<br />

Reduction in claimed mileage<br />

Reduction of CO 2 per delivery year on year<br />

85% of electricity used from renewable tariffs<br />

Recycling Waste<br />

At Bunzl CHS, we have been constantly<br />

reviewing the impact of our waste sent<br />

to landfill.<br />

In 2006 we invested in bailers at most of our<br />

branches, to compact the cardboard and plastic<br />

waste which is now diverted to be recycled.<br />

We then focused on our paper usage which<br />

included a reduction in paper consumption<br />

through print, reusing where possible and<br />

recycling.<br />

We are currently working with major UK paper<br />

towel manufacturers to recycle our customers’<br />

waste paper back into the supply chain.<br />

The recycled paper is reprocessed and recycled<br />

into hand towel products that we sell back to our<br />

customers.<br />

• 2005 - 417.21 tonnes sent to landfill<br />

Saving Water<br />

Whilst our water usage is only used for<br />

refreshment and sanitary use, Bunzl CHS<br />

is always looking for ways to use water<br />

more effectively.<br />

All new and refurbished facilities are fitted<br />

with dual flush toilets and older sites are<br />

fitted with Cistermiser and Hippo Bricks.<br />

Vehicle washing at our sites is prohibited<br />

and from 2016, we have monitored our water<br />

consumption on a monthly basis, enabling<br />

us to analyse our usage between sites and<br />

spot any leaks.<br />

MONTHLY<br />

MONITORING<br />

Since 2016, we have measured<br />

and analysed water consumption<br />

across all of our branches<br />

ISO 14001<br />

Bunzl CHS has held IS0 14001<br />

Environmental Management System since<br />

2006 which is approved by NQA, a UKAS<br />

accredited company.<br />

We actively train our staff to understand<br />

their impact on the environment and<br />

implement positive changes.<br />

We encourage employees to review<br />

their work activities and identify<br />

small changes that can result<br />

in a meaningful reduction<br />

in our overall<br />

environmental impact.<br />

We are constantly<br />

striving to improve<br />

year on year and have<br />

recently been awarded<br />

ISO 9001 and<br />

OHSAS 18001.<br />

Renewable<br />

Electricity<br />

Since 2012 Bunzl CHS has sourced<br />

electricity from 100% renewable tariffs.<br />

Currently over 85% of the electricity used<br />

by Bunzl CHS is from 100% renewable<br />

tariffs. By the end of 2017, Bunzl CHS aim<br />

to have all electricity from this source.<br />

In the table below, Bunzl CHS exceeded<br />

the targets set in four areas.<br />

hitting our targets, which nevertheless helped<br />

us publish very positive results overall.<br />

Carbon Footprint<br />

From January 2013, Bunzl CHS became the<br />

first cleaning and hygiene product supplier<br />

to publish their monthly CO 2 footprint per<br />

delivery figures.<br />

Using the conversion data set out by Defra, we<br />

have been able to accurately calculate our Scope<br />

1 and Scope 2 figures ensuring that Scope 3<br />

data can be calculated for our customers.<br />

• Jan 13 = 7.82 kg of CO 2 per delivery<br />

• Jan 16 = 5.75 kg of CO 2 per delivery<br />

New Technology<br />

In December 2011 Bunzl CHS fitted all<br />

commercial vehicles with an on board<br />

telematics system called GreenRoad.<br />

From 2011-2015 GreenRoad produced a<br />

reduction in road traffic accidents, wear & tear<br />

and a 19% reduction of fuel per £1M turnover.<br />

In 2016, we introduced a route planning and<br />

fleet management system called Telogis which<br />

further reduced our diesel consumption whilst<br />

enhancing our customer delivery expectations.<br />

Products<br />

As a sustainable supplier, Bunzl CHS is<br />

committed to providing and promoting<br />

sustainable products to our customers.<br />

Our suppliers recognise this too.<br />

We stock a number of products within our range<br />

that are chemical free such as InnuScience,<br />

EcoLab and Diversey SURE range which use<br />

plant based enzymes instead of chemicals.<br />

We also stock paper products that are<br />

compressed in the box during manufacturing -<br />

meaning that 20% extra product is contained<br />

within each box.<br />

In addition, more products than ever in our<br />

range hold environmental credentials such as<br />

Nordic Swan, EU Ecolabel and FSC.<br />

Target Setting<br />

Bunzl CHS has set annual targets for<br />

the past 8 years to reduce its impact<br />

on the environment.<br />

For 2016/2017, we are targeting a 2% net<br />

reduction on diesel and energy consumption.<br />

Therefore, if our business expanded by 5%, we<br />

would be looking at a 3% reduction in diesel and<br />

energy (2% target reduction and 5% growth).<br />

These targets are agreed at Board level<br />

and performance against these targets are<br />

constantly reviewed by senior management.<br />

We are also monitored by Bunzl plc to ensure<br />

our group obligations are met.<br />

The Future<br />

Bunzl CHS is not stopping.<br />

As mentioned earlier, we are continually<br />

looking at innovative ways to reduce our<br />

impact on the environment.<br />

We are currently working on two key<br />

environmental projects:<br />

Lighting – We are currently switching a<br />

significant amount of our lighting from high<br />

wattage lights to low wattage LED lights. This<br />

could see a reduction in our consumption of<br />

electricity for lighting by over 60%.<br />

Waste – We are committed to reducing<br />

our waste to landfill and feel that we<br />

can do more in this area.<br />

We not only review what we<br />

do in terms of waste and<br />

recycling at each of our<br />

business locations, but<br />

also actively challenge<br />

our supply chain to<br />

reduce their packaging<br />

and waste.<br />

wattage with low<br />

wattage LED<br />
