Sustainability
Lane Neave is pleased to announce it is a Toitū carbonreduce certified organisation.
In April 2022 the firm engaged with Toitū Envirocare to measure our carbon output by way of a Carbon Audit. The goal of the audit is to measure Lane Neave’s carbon footprint and create a strategy for future reductions.
We have now had two audits completed; January-December 2021 (baseline year) and January-December 2022.
The key findings related to the 2022 data were as follow:
- Our baseline greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions recording is 366.11 tCO2e, measured by Toitu in accordance with ISO 14064-1:2006.
- Our top three sources of GHG emissions were air travel, car use (petrol and diesel) and electricity.
- Our largest GHG emission source, air travel, makes up 50% of overall emissions.
We have set targets for reduction, which we will continue to assess and refine.

What else are we doing?
We are taking steps to reduce our emissions in some of the following ways:
- Avoiding unnecessary business travel
- Reducing paper use through less printing and better digital document management
- Looking into an energy audit for more efficient energy use in office space
- Conducting an annual waste audit to understand what goes to landfill
- Conducting an annual survey of staff commuting habits to better understand how staff travel
- Implementing an education campaign around the ways in which we can all have an impact on emissions reduction
