Everything we do to improve Tube Lines’ environmental performance helps to reduce our carbon footprint. We have set about calculating our carbon footprint with the help of the Carbon Trust, both to help us identify what we have achieved so far and as a first step towards setting our longer-term vision for the future. In 2006, we made a particular drive to reduce energy use at our head office in Canary Wharf and succeeded in reducing consumption by three per cent. This, and our efforts to reduce paper consumption, helped us to reduce our CO2 emissions by 126 tonnes last year.

We are working to quantify the cost of climate change to Tube Lines. We have identified over 200 threats and opportunities posed by climate change and are busy quantifying the effect that adverse weather has had on our assets. By assessing this information using The UK Climate Impacts Programme, long term climate predictions can estimate the likely future cost of climate change and the priorities that need to be addressed.
