We believe that businesses are responsible for achieving good environmental practice and operating in a sustainable manner. We are therefore commited to reducing our environmental impact and continually improving our environmental performance as an integral and fundamental part of our business strategy and operating methods. It is our priority to encourage our staff, customers and suppliers to do the same.

Not only is this sound commercial sense for all, it is also a matter of delivering on our duty of care towards future generations.

Our policy is to:

• Wholly support and comply with or exceed the requirements of current environmental legislation and codes of practice,
• Minimise our waste and the reuse or recycle as much of it as possible
• Minimise energy and water usage in our building, vehicles and processes in order to conserve supplies and minimise our consumption of natural resources, especially where they are non—renewable.
• Operate and maintain company vehicles with due regard to environmental issues as far as reasonably practical and encourage the use of alternative means of transport and car sharing as appropriate.
• Apply the principles of continuous improvement in respect of air, water, noise and light pollution from our premises
• As far as possible purchase products and services that do the least damage to the environment and encourage others to do the same
• Ensure that all employees understand our environmental policy and confirm to the high standards it required
• Address complaints about any breach of our Environmental policy promptly and to the satisfaction of all concerned
• Update, our environmental policy annually in consultation with staff, associates and customers.
