Protecting Our Environment
Climate change has rightly swept to the top of the political, business and consumer agenda in recent years. It is an issue that no business can afford to ignore.
The RBS group environmental management system monitors our overall energy usage by collecting data on energy use such as electricity, gas, water and transport.
We are also actively engaged with our people to realise all available opportunities for carbon reduction.
During 2008 we actively participated with other members of the Irish Banking Federation in the development of the Climate Change Principles (PDF), a voluntary undertaking by the Irish banking industry to reduce climate change.
