- Minimising waste through re-use and recycling, using recycled, recyclable or re-furbished products and materials where possible.
- Endeavouring to procure products for use in our offices which are sustainable, non-toxic and pollute less than alternatives to protect the environment and staff health when these products are used, stored and disposed of.
- Developing and maintaining emergency and spill response programmes where required by legislation or significant health, safety or environmental hazards.
- Minimising travel for business purposes, harnessing video conferencing, working from home and low-carbon operating methods where possible.
- Considering the associated and embedded carbon equivalent emissions in the above, opting for the lowest carbon option where possible, economical & suitable.
We will allocate the time, resource and governance required to operate an Environmental Management System, to continuously measure, monitor and improve environmental performance in accordance with a ‘plan-do-check-act’ approach.
We will measure and monitor our key environmental interactions and subsequent carbon footprint with appropriate KPIs and publish these results annually.
We will educate our employees on current environmental information and challenges, encouraging bottom-up sustainable practice and working in an environmentally responsible manner.
We will promote our environmental commitment to our customers and the public, encouraging them to support it, with our mission statement, policy, and values.
