Our environmental policy
We’ve re-appraised our impact on the environment and our use of finite natural resources, including energy and water. We’re committed to the prevention of pollution, compliance with environmental legislation, and continuous improvement via an annual environmental performance review.
Here are some of the ways we demonstrate our commitment:
- We operate from well insulated premises with low energy lighting.
- Packaging and waste is recycled or composted whenever feasible.
- We use recycled, natural or organic products from ethical sources where available, and seek out suppliers that share this commitment
- Our fuel efficient vehicle has a particulate filter to minimise emissions.
- We minimise car journeys by working virtually from a home base and actively promote shared journeys.
- We’ re proud to be part of the community. We strive to minimise noise and inconvenience, and lend support to community activities and initiatives
- We're committed to responsible stewardship of our own land
