ENVIRONMENT
We know our environment is under threat and that changes must be made to protect it. As a business we are fully committed to working and growing in a sustainable manner.
We have committed to reducing our carbon footprint and becoming a Net Zero business by 2030. We are doing this by working with experts who are helping us set science-based targets and implement robust measurement techniques and by making changes internally that supports our wish to be environmentally responsible.
We recognise we cannot do this alone. We need our people, our supply chain, and our clients to be onboard with our journey to sustainability if we are to make an impact.

GOVERNANCE
We are working with independent environmental consultants to help us identify ways we can make our business more environmentally friendly and sustainable. In gaining an accreditation we commit to reducing our carbon footprint as well as operating in a sustainable fashion. By setting measurable targets and reviewing them regularly we hope to significantly minimise the environmental impact of our business operations.
We are building a culture of people who are onboard with our environmental objectives and are encouraging them to bring new ideas to the table so that can all learn and evolve together. Our online CPD Accredited and IOSH Approved training course is designed to introduce staff and management at all levels to the issues of environmental responsibility as well as look at how individually and collectively we can minimise our impact from our day to day activities. Our programme educates our team on what the environment is, what’s happening to it and how we can make a positive difference
We do not pretend to have all the answers, but together we are working hard to improve our global impact.
