<p>The Attorney General’s Office (AGO), Government Legal Department (GLD), Crown Prosecution
Service (CPS), Serious Fraud Office (SFO) and HM Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate
(HMCPSI) are committed to tackling climate change and delivering our world-leading
net zero target. Each department is located on separate premises and therefore their
steps to climate responsibility differ.</p><p>The AGO is located within a building
shared with other tenants. The department engages with the landlord to support any
opportunities to reduce greenhouse emissions. Emissions data is produced for the building
and is not identifiable for each tenant. Information relating to the government vehicle
is collated and reported by the Department for Transport. The AGO ensures that all
travel is kept to a minimum.</p><p>The CPS actively seeks to understand and mitigate
its sustainability impacts associated with delivering its core organisational responsibilities.
The CPS’ sustainability objectives include delivering on the Greening Government Commitments1
(GGC) for reducing energy, water, paper and other resource use, reducing travel and
managing waste and assessing and managing social and environmental impacts and opportunities
in policy development and decision making.</p><p>The GLD has not made any specific
assessment of the effect of climate change on the work of the Department. They provide
legal advice in support of our clients’ considerations of climate change and the impact
on their business, whilst we have made changes to our operations over time to reduce
the consumption of natural resources, including the consumption, movement and storage
of paper files, and travel.</p><p>No formal assessment has been made on how climate
change may impact the work of the SFO. However, the Serious Fraud Office is committed
to playing its part in meeting the government’s ambitious targets to reduce emissions
and deliver on the Greening Government Commitments.</p>
