Environmental Policy

We have established this environmental policy to be consistent with the purpose and context of our organisation. It provides a framework for the setting and review of environmental objectives in addition to our commitment towards the following:

• Measure and take action to reduce the carbon footprint of our business activities.

• Manage waste generated from our business operations incorporating reduction, re-use and recycling in accordance with the principles of the waste hierarchy.

• Manage our business operations to prevent pollution.

• Give due consideration to environmental issues (such as biodiversity) and energy performance in the acquisition, design, refurbishment, location and use of buildings.

• Ensure environmental, including climate change, criteria are taken into account in the procurement of goods and services.
