Environmental Policy Statement
Protecting the natural and human environment is an important part of how we do business. Through the implementation of our environmental policy and procedures, we minimise the impacts on the local environment. We collaborate with our clients, suppliers, and our employees to identify opportunities to enhance the environments where we work in. We set Science Based Targets and align our environmental and sustainability strategy to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Our Environmental Management System complies with the requirements of the BS EN ISO14001:2015 standard and is appropriate to the nature, scale and environmental impacts of our activities. All levels within our management structure have clear roles and responsibilities for the implementation of this environmental policy and ensuring that environmental issues are effectively managed.
We are committed to responsibly managing the aspects and impacts of our business through implementing measures aimed to minimise harm and enhance environmental performances. We will, at a minimum, comply with relevant environmental legislative and regulatory requirements and best practice in local jurisdictions that we work in. It is the policy of the company to:
Assess environmental aspects and impacts at every stage of our projects, seeking out opportunities for enhancements
Mitigate potential risks to the environment by prioritising prevention of pollution over control.
Minimise our carbon emissions generated from our office, operations and transportation activities.
Minimise the amount of waste sent to landfill through application of the waste hierarchy and 5 principles to design out waste.
Increase resource efficiency by considering raw materials, waste production and energy use on sites.
Protect local biodiversity and where opportunities exist, enhance biodiversity through partnerships
Monitor and minimise water consumption at our offices and on-site and aim to reuse water on site wherever possible.
Ensure the appropriate storage and disposal of substances at our offices and on-site that could otherwise cause harm to the environment.
Implement pollution prevention measures and have emergency procedures in place in the event of an environmental incident.
Conduct our operations in a manner that minimises the impact on local communities and stakeholders.
Consult with our employees to identify ways to improve our environmental performance.
Work with our supply chain to improve their environmental performance by taking into consideration the lifecycle of procured products and services.
We monitor our success in achieving environmental objectives in respect to the above and we review this policy annually, continually striving to improve our environmental standards.
