Environmental Policy

We are committed to devise, install and keep under constant review to improve, a practical, common sense and achievable set of working practices that minimise our impact on the environment.

This is expressed in our Environment Policy, a summary of which is included below.

In particular:

1) Working Processes

• Electronic document flow adopted.
• Proofread on electronic copy wherever possible. If it is not possible to proof using on screen facilities then print on both sides of the paper. Do not print emails. Remind suppliers not to print out emails.
• Electronic archive (part of the document flow process).
• Use electronic mail.
• We will never send hard copy speculative mail.

2) Office Consumables

• Use recycled paper and envelopes.
• Shred scrap paper and recycle (include unwanted mail).
• Recycle toner cartridges.
• All electrical equipment switched off at the end of the day.
• All lights off when not required.
• Low energy light bulbs to be used wherever practical.

3) Company Cars

• All will have a maximum engine size of 2L.
• All will have clean burn diesel engines.
• All will be correctly and properly maintained.
• Where possible staff will use public transport for on-site visits.

4) Premises

• Thermostatic control of office heating regularly maintained.
• Low energy flat screen monitors employed throughout the office.
• Heating boilers to be maintained annually for optimum efficiency.
• Door and window seals maintained to minimise draught.
• Automatic door closer fitted to all doors.

The Policy is reviewed every year.
