Trinity Mirror has continued to work towards implementing the environmental policy adopted at the end of 2005, which sets out the Company’s core commitments in the areas of:

The year began well, with the Company achieving Energy Efficiency Accredited status from the Carbon Trust. This is an independent award that recognises achievement in reducing energy use, based on evidence of management commitment to the efficient use of energy, investment in energy-efficiency measures and a trend of successfully reducing energy consumption.

A particular effort has been made during the year to involve a wider range of employees in the Company’s environmental programmes, especially at office locations. Staff forums have been established at Liverpool, Canary Wharf, Cardiff and Newcastle, with local champions to drive energy-saving and waste-recycling campaigns.

Other forums will shortly be established at major office locations in Scotland and the Midlands. The Secretary and Group Legal Director remains the main Board Director, with primary oversight of environmental issues. The Environmental Steering Group continues to meet periodically to review the progress of the corporate environmental programme and to track and monitor the issues affecting the Company as a whole.

A new set of company-wide targets has been agreed for completion by 2007. Performance in the key areas is reported below.
