Environment

We recognise that most industrial processes have the potential to cause environmental harm and that the world's resources are not limitless. Therefore we accept a social and moral responsibility for putting into place environmentally friendly measures which go beyond legislative requirements. We have made a conscious policy decision to explore every avenue open to us to ensure that care of the environment is a key consideration in our work practices, processes and methods of operation.

Our environmental policy outlines our aims and principles in relation to managing the environmental effects and aspects of our operation.

We are subscribers to Climate Care and offset all the carbon created by our essential work travel and office energy use. Climate Care encourages offsetting as one part of a strategy for reducing emissions and to take responsibility for emissions that cannot yet be eliminated at source. Certificate number 6638.

We are members of The Green Achiever Scheme which has been set up to enable companies like us to demonstrate their credentials to suppliers, customers and any other parties interested in green business.
