Our environmental targets
Included in this report is an update on progress of our 2006/07 environmental targets, covering the areas of air quality, noise, surface transport, energy, waste, water quality and biodiversity. Our progress against each target was assessed and assured by an external environmental consultancy against the following score criteria:
| Score | Criteria |
| No progress | The target actions have not been progressed at all, or performance is lower than last year |
| Some progress made | The target has not been achieved but actions have been carried out towards delivering the target. Performance has not achieved the target but is better than last year. |
| Target achieved | All the actions are completed, and items delivered. Performance has reached the target level. |
| Target bettered | More actions have been completed than planned against the target. Performance is better than target. |
To align with the change to reporting by calendar year, from 2007 we are moving to set targets which cover the calendar year. Progress against these targets will be reported in our 2007 report.
