Environmental Policy
We recognise that our own operations also have an affect on the local, regional and global environment. As a consequence of this, we are committed to continuous improvements in our own environmental performance and the prevention of pollution, as well as offsetting our own emissions to ensure our company is CarbonZero.
The directors and staff participated in defining the policy and the creation of the Environmental Policy Action Plan. The Policy and the Action Plan have both been adopted by the directors and have been communicated to all employees. An annual review is carried out and presented to the directors with an aim to secure continual improvement of our environmental performance. This can be achieved with the economically viable application of best available technology.
We welcome input from clients on this important feature of our work, thereby helping to sharpen our policy. We are also happy to advise clients by sharing our methods.
The Environmental Policy Action Plan incorporates the following general features:
- Use electronic communications, reducing consumption of paper
- Use teleconferencing / video conferencing facilities to avoid unnecessary meetings and save time
- Allow staff to work from home avoiding the need to travel or to heat/light offices
- Recycle waste paper, plastics, glass, aluminium cans, printer cartridges, kitchen waste and electronic equipment
- Use public transport when available
- Lift share to events, meetings, commuting etc to reduce fuel consumption
- Regularly service and maintain vehicles to ensure fuel efficiency
- Use 100% renewable energy sources for powering offices
- All our staff are CarbonZero
- Progress towards adopting a “bike-to-work” scheme
