  • Recycling / re-using internal company stationery, packaging, electrical and white goods and consumables where this is practical.
  • Reducing non-renewable energy usage in the company buildings and fossil fuels for vehicles and seeking to increase the usage of energy from alternative sustainable sources as they become available.
  • Increasing the use of alternatives to hazardous chemicals, materials and substances that are more readily biodegradable or have less impact on the environment.
  • Training of our staff in environmental awareness and environmental management systems.
  • Procuring products from sustainable sources wherever possible.
