Sustainability Policy Statement
Policy Statement
We are committed to implementing and promoting environmental sustainability. We have established goals for the continual improvement of the company’s environmental performance and for the prevention of pollution. We aim to reduce the impacts on the environmental and help our customers and partners do the same.
Our Environmental Policy encompasses our commitment to sustainability and is based upon the following principles:
- To act in accordance with best practice, comply fully with all relevant legislation and other specified Environmental requirements in order to enhance the quality of the environment and recycle materials as appropriate.
- To co-operate with national and local government authorities with responsibility for the regulation and monitoring of our business activities likely to have an adverse effect on the environment.
- To adopt procedures to identify and assess risk to the environment posed by our activities and the establishment of environmental objectives which lead to improvements in environmental performance.
- To seek to continually be aware of developments in materials and processes and where possible adopt alternatives to further reduce harm to the environment.
- To ensure that all staff are fully aware of our Environmental Policy and are committed to implementing and improving it.
- To ensure all suppliers, contractors and partners are aware of our Environmental Policy and encourage them to adopt similar practices.
- To review, annually report, and to continually strive to improve our environmental sustainability performance.
In order to put these principles into practice we will:
- Recycle waste including; paper, packaging, computer supplies and redundant equipment with an appointed waste carrier.
- Aim to reduce the energy consumption of office equipment by purchasing energy efficient equipment and good housekeeping. Minimise our use of paper and other office consumables, for example by using remote APPs instead of a paper based system, doubleside printing, and identifying opportunities to reduce waste.
- Prevent pollution, reduce waste and ensure wherever practicable, that measures are implemented to protect and preserve natural habitats, flora and fauna.
- Keep fuel consumption to a minimum through improved vehicle selection, trackers that optimise route planning, travelling together whether practical and driver awareness campaigns.
- Consider our suppliers by aiming to purchase electricity from a supplier committed to renewable energy.
- Promote our Environmental Policy in all our tender proposals to clients and contractors.
Our Environmental Management System is accredited to ISO 14001.
