  2. Personal carbon allowances • What is it? • How does the WSP scheme work? • Do personal carbon allowances change behaviour? • Does the concept have wider application?

  3. Personal carbon allowances provides equity. • You set the scope of the allowances • Agree what the allowance should be • Provide a framework to track emissions • Those under their allowance can sell their allowances • To those who have emitted more.

  4. This is what we’ve set up in WSP • A FTSE350 business • One of the world’s top five environmental and sustainability consultants • HQ in London with international operations

  5. This is how WSP’s PACT scheme works • A VOLUNTARY personal carbon trading scheme for staff. • Designed and delivered on a highly professional basis • We set a 5 TONNE ANNUAL carbon allowance

  6. Pioneers Club membership provides a ready made staff engagement programme, well thought through and well delivered. • Marketing materials to promote PACT to your teams.

  7. This is how WSP’s PACT scheme works • A VOLUNTARY personal carbon trading scheme for staff. • Designed and delivered on a highly professional basis • We set a 5 TONNE ANNUAL carbon allowance • Staff track their DIRECT emissions on a quarterly basis on www.wsppact.com

  8. Data is managed through a web-based portal

  9. Area 1 – home energy consumption

  10. Area 2 – cars and vehicle use

  11. Area 3 – Commute to work – if it’s on public transport

  12. Area 4 – flights, boats, trains, buses

  13. This gives a quarterly snapshot of carbon performance

  14. This is how WSP’s PACT scheme works • A VOLUNTARY personal carbon trading scheme for staff. • Designed and delivered on a highly professional basis • We set a 5 TONNE ANNUAL carbon allowance • Staff track their DIRECT emissions on a quarterly basis on www.wsppact.com • Staff who are under their allowance receive a bonus payment of 5p per kilo up to £100. Staff who have used more than their allotted share of carbon pay into the scheme. • The scheme is based on TRUST - we do not audit the results

  15. The Results • 712 staff taking part in the scheme in 2010 in six countries • Staff like it • Average 10% reduction in participants’ footprint • £1.4 million in advertising value equivalent media coverage in 2009 • PACT has made a huge difference to our CR profile in the industry • Pioneers’ Group launched to extend the concept wider

  16. 720 staff taking part in the scheme across the world today “It was initiatives like PACT that made me want to work for a company like WSP – they actually practice what they preach and care about sustainability issues.” Julian Elsworthy, Senior Consultant “As a result of PACT, I was able to see how much carbon I was using on my car. I decided to stop driving to work and I took up cycling instead.” Marie Jones, Consultant “At home I bought a real time energy meter. This gives me better information on where the energy is actually being used. I am also thinking more about the impact of flights that I take.” Louise Wood, Senior Consultant

  17. The Learning Points for similar schemes? • It’s thinking differently that adds to value • Don’t be afraid to take action • You won’t have all of the answers to start with – start small and grow the scheme • Make it interesting, engaging, and long lived.

  18. Do personal allowances have wider application? • Could be part of a policy landscape. • It allows participants to decide where to use their allowance • Tie it into help as well and stress the positive. Negative schemes are less likely to change behaviour • Voluntary schemes are easier to launch and less costly

  19. Personal carbon allowances • Change behaviour • In a flexible way to suit each individual • Have the potential for wider application • We’ve demonstrated that it’s a scheme that companies or communities can take the lead on – not just Governments.
