Working with our suppliers

Encourage our suppliers to improve the sustainability of their products and services.

Lloyd’s Environmental Working Group meets quarterly and includes representatives from our main suppliers to report on progress against the annual Environmental Action Plan and to discuss further initiatives.

  • Our facilities management company, ISS Coflex, were awarded a Gold Award in the City of London’s Clean City Awards for the work they did on recycling and environmental issues at Lloyd’s during 2008.
  • Our 2008 cleaning contract was awarded to company that was able to demonstrate good sustainability practices.
  • During 2008, Avenance – the in-house caterer – switched all the food packaging in the Lloyd’s Building to biodegradable packaging.
  • We also worked with Avenance to replace bottled water in the building with tap water filtered and bottled on site.
  • A promotion of eco-friendly stationery with our stationery supplier, Acorn, also took place with the result that the amount of recycled or recyclable stationery increased to over 60%.
