DMGT's headquarters at Northcliffe House, also the London base of Associated Newspapers, Northcliffe Media and dmg::events, retains the prized ISO 14001 international environmental standard.
This year we announced a three-year plan to transfer our London printing production from the ISO 14001-accredited Harmsworth Quays to a green field site in Thurrock. The Thurrock facility will set even higher standards for performance, environmental efficiency and waste minimisation.

Euromoney Institutional Investor continued its programme of reducing operational hours for the main plant systems in its buildings. At RMS server virtualisation technology is improving performance, using physical servers and power consumption more efficiently, and reducing manufacturing waste.

International travel is unavoidable for dmg::events executives. The London office has signed a five-year deal with the UK Forestry Commission-backed Heart of England Forest Project to plant and maintain a 20-acre broadleaf wood in the UK.  During their lifetimes these additional trees will capture at least 3,100 tonnes of CO2, well over five times the London team's annual air travel emissions.

Metro's inaugural four-day EcoVelocity event, at Battersea Power station in London during September, advanced the cause of low-carbon motoring.  The event showcased the latest low emission vehicles from leading manufacturers.

Landmark Information Group's Green IT Awards event is now in its second year. The awards reward the technologies and organisations doing most to improve the IT industry's environmental performance.

The Exeter Express and Echo underlined its green credentials by winning the Environmental Initiative of the Year for the second year running at the 2011 Newspaper Awards. Its Green Team Project is a simple and effective campaign run with the local council that engages schools by awarding points for completing green tasks.

Euromoney Institutional Investor has reduced the total operational hours of main plant systems in all of its buildings, saving the equivalent of over 94 days of continual running per year at its four main London sites alone.

dmg information's Landmark has developed Carbon Counter, an online service to prepare businesses for the  governmental Carbon Reduction Commitment  Energy Efficiency Scheme. Also DMGT qualified for this climate change and energy saving programme, central to the UK's strategy for reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.

The RMS offices in Newark and London order all office supplies from local suppliers that purchase recycled stationary and practise recycling themselves.  They have an open plan office environment designed to take full advantage of natural light as well as using only low energy, low wattage compact fluorescent light fixtures and bulbs.

A&N Media was praised by the Green Standards Trust for participating in the registered charity Waste to Wonder's initiative, recycling and redistributing over 11 tonnes of redundant office furniture; this initiative is now being promoted across the Group.
dmg events are working with their suppliers to recycle as much of the carpet as possible - the largest waste by-product of any event as venue halls are carpeted in full for each event,  with recycling ranging between 30 and 100%.

The International Contemporary Furniture Fair, part of dmg events, coordinates the donation of surplus exhibitor product to Furnish a Future, providing formerly homeless families leaving city shelters with furniture and household goods, and in the tradition of the Daily Mail's "Banish the Bags", the Folkestone Herald's "Pack It In" campaign has encouraged local businesses to recycle plastic waste, including shrink wrap and polythene.
