Environmental Management
The National Oceanography Centre (NOC) has a strong commitment to reduce its carbon footprint, prevent pollution and to be an environmentally conscientious organisation.
NOC currently maintains separate Environmental Management Systems (EMSs) certified to ISO 14001; one at Southampton, and one Liverpool. The ISO 14001 certification means that both sites are committed to continual environmental improvement. Targets for both sites encompass a range of different environmental aspects from waste generation and energy use to travel and oil storage.
The Environmental Management policies for NOC Southampton and Liverpool are attached below.
NERC has also gained the Carbon Trust Standard. This reflects the work conducted by all Centres to reduce carbon emissions - the certificate is attached below.
