Environmental and Green Policy

The Company and its subsidiaries seek to avoid waste and promotes the use of sustainable resources when choosing or specifying materials and equipment.

We demonstrate our commitment to the Environmental and Green Policy by:

Reviewing and understanding the range of environmental impacts arising from our activities.
Ensuring that we comply with and, where possible, exceed all applicable environmental legislation.
Setting environmental objectives and targets where possible and defining a means of achieving them to improve our environmental management and performance.
Reducing energy and resource consumption by implementing effective and efficient reduction methods consistent with best practice.
Communicating our environmental policy to our suppliers and contractors to ensure that goods procured and services undertaken make every effort to comply with it.
Minimising the generation of waste and implementing recycling initiatives.
Ensuring that the policy is understood, implemented and maintained at all levels within the organisation and is supported by suitable education and training.

Policy Statement Review

The Company will continue to review this policy as a result of monitoring and evaluating current information regarding:

Recycling and disposal of materials.
Energy consumed in activities.
Hazardous materials, noxious substances and air quality.

Our responsibilities can be defined within the following areas:-

Office Activities

Paper/office consumables:

Paper
We are aware that the majority of waste from an office is paper and we are committed to recycle all white office paper, including photocopy paper, computer paper, letterheads, memos and laser prints.

Toner cartridges
We recycle fax and copier toner cartridges continually and strive to recycle printer toner cartridges whenever facilities are available.

Cardboard
A large percentage of waste from the office is cardboard packaging through office supplies and materials. All cardboard waste is collected once a week by a company that recycles them.

Magazines
We collect the large quantity of magazines received and recycle them.

Plastics
We collect the plastics used in the everyday office environment and deliver them to the local recycling centre.

Cleaning
The Company uses cleaning products based on environmental considerations as well as cost and suitability. It monitors its working practises with a view to administering dosages so as to reduce the risk of over concentration and excess residue of unused cleaning mixtures finding their way into piped waste disposal systems.

Waste and Recycling

IT equipment
We endeavour to upgrade equipment wherever possible. Where this is not possible, IT equipment is donated or recycled.

Purchasing
In purchasing its services, materials, equipment and consumable items, the Company will, where possible, purchase items produced in ways which do least environmental harm, which are not supplied with excessive packaging; which are benign or at least harmless in their effect on the environment. We will seek to minimise our generation of waste by reduction of purchased materials where this does not compromise our primary functions, or by re-use of materials within or outside the Company. Where reduction or re-use is not feasible, materials will be recycled.

Where possible, preference will be given to local or regional suppliers to maximise the Company’s input to the local community. Organisations representing the diversity of the population (such as people with disabilities, ethnic minority groups) will be encouraged to bid as suppliers.

Energy Consumption

The Company is environmentally responsible for its use of energy and will therefore consider the sources, type, origin and destination of energy input and output throughout the Company. This will require careful monitoring of consumption, the elimination of excessive or unnecessary use, and an ongoing programme of energy conservation.

We continue, where possible, to turn off all unwanted lights, monitors, copiers and printers and ensure that employees are aware of this through posters in the office.
