Environmental

• Reduce carbon emissions where possible.
• Do everything we can to prevent pollution and chemical spill incidents.
• Employ environmentally friendly products and processes where possible.
• Encourage our staff to recycle as many materials as possible, to avoid them going to landfill. We locally recycle our cardboard or waste paper and avoid unnecessary printing wherever we can.
• Manage the waste and resources carefully from our work.
• Responsible sourcing and purchasing of materials that are least harmful to the environment.
• We purchase reusable consumables wherever possible e.g. reusable cable ties.
• Recycle and reuse wherever possible minimising the amount going into landfill.
• We restore property and contents wherever possible, rather than stripping out.
• We have reduced the chemicals used in our cleaning services, with some of our services not requiring any chemicals whatsoever
• Conserve water, reducing demand at sites and at the premises.

• Strive to use energy and resources as sparingly as possible.
• Source energy efficient equipment with the least effect on the environment.
• We have recently invested in upgrading our equipment to ensure we use the most energy efficient equipment we can – the new dehumidifiers are compliant with the latest F-gas regulations which have been set to reduce CO² emissions.
• All our new computing equipment is A rated with energy savers so use 80% less energy consumption.
• We turn off office equipment at night – we have a last person switch to ensure non-essential equipment is turned off in one go.
• Minimise travel wherever possible, but if it can’t be avoided then we use the most efficient method available.
• Recently we invested in a new fleet of small vans which are the most fuel-efficient & economic available (at this stage electric is not viable for the long distances required)
• We use trackers on vans to plan the technicians’ routes efficiently taking both time and fuel usage into account.
• We encourage minimal use of heating in offices.
