Highlights and areas for improvement

The 2006/07 financial year yielded both significant highlights and areas in which to focus improvements for the 2007/08 year. The major outcomes of this year’s environmental performance include:

• energy use per full-time equivalent staff member decreased by four per cent from the 2005/06 year

• vehicle use per full-time equivalent staff member (including Ministry and rental cars) decreased by seven per cent from the 2005/06 year

• over 99 per cent of office paper used included recycled content and was chlorine-free.

The Ministry should focus on reducing domestic and international air travel in 2007/08, as air travel increased by six per cent per full-time equivalent staff member from the 2005/06 year. The Ministry’s carbon footprint increased as a result of this air travel.
