Consulting - BP

The Brief:

  • BP is one of the largest petroleum and petrochemicals group world-wide with a simply stated goal - to do no damage to the environment
  • The ‘Green Office Initiative’ was implemented at BP's Eastern Hemisphere Business Hub in Sunbury, UK - a program designed to reduce the impact of work practices and buildings on the environment
  • Johnson Controls was selected to secure ISO 14001 accreditation for BP and increase the volume of office waste recycled, with targets to move from 5 percent of office waste recycled to 50 percent within 3 years.
 

Challenges:

  • Educating people at the 33 acre site which receives over 90,000 visitors and accommodates in excess of 2,000 staff moves each year
  • Establishing waste ‘streaming’ without impacting on costs
 

Solutions:

  • Office desk bins removed to encourage centralized, recycling points for each building
  • Dedicated waste coordinator and site Image Team appointed to enhance waste management
  • Introduced measurement system to quantify amount of waste generated
 

Benefits:

  • Exceeded targets to increase volume of office waste recycled by 53 percent within 3 years
  • BP achieved ISO 14001 accreditation, directly supporting its corporate values
