two.1.4) Short description
Our annual operating costs are £1.3billion and our supply chain spend is approximately
£700million. We have previously carried out work to quantify and value the impacts
associated with the Environment Agency’s procurement decisions. Our supply chain
accounts for 62% of our sustainability impacts.
In terms of spend and sustainability impact our high impact areas are construction (of
coastal & flood defences, and assets (e.g. pumping stations), fleet and IT. We also use
common category goods including but not limited to clothing & PPE (Personal Protective
Equipment) and furniture. We also have a significant laboratory service in place.
The Environment Agency (EA) has an ambitious sustainability strategy eMission2030 which
addresses the 4 pillars of sustainability:
• Responding to the climate emergency - net zero by 2030
• Optimising our use of resources – moving from a linear to a circular business model
• Delivering environmental net gain
• Benefitting people and communities - social value
2
This brief focuses on “resource optimisation and our goal to move from a linear to a
circular economy model.”
To do this, we need to understand the impact of what the Environment Agency currently
uses in terms of resources, so that we can act and measure our progress. This work will:
a. form the foundation of our transition from a linear to a circular business model
b. the resource consumption footprint will provide the evidence to drive change in
buying habits.
c. by setting a baseline and collecting data, it will allow us to implement CE practises in
subsequent years and be able to measure progress and set out our future
aspirations.
