The environment
As a financial services business employing around 750 employees
worldwide, 3i’s direct environmental impact is relatively low. 3i
measures its own energy and resource usage where practicable and
sets targets to achieve improvement. The principal benchmarks
against which 3i measures its performance are for:
- CO2 emissions; and
- recycling of paper and other materials.
3i also assesses the environmental standards of suppliers,
through its procurement policy.

| In Kind Direct |
|
| During the year, 3i supported In Kind Direct, a UK charity which distributes manufacturers' surplus goods to other UK voluntary organisations. These include essentials such as toiletries and tools, office supplies and equipment, and household products and appliances, which might othwise be disposed of in landfill sites. 3i was particularly pleased to support a charity which utilises surplus products in an environmentally efficient manner. |
