Unlocking best value through Partnerships

We are committed to sustainable development (meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs) as a guiding principle within our work. Concern for the environment is an integral and fundamental part of this commitment. Our aim is to reduce the impact on the environment from our operations.

Our environmental/sustainability action plan

In our role as a corporate citizen, we aim to promote good governance as well as dealing with aspects of poor practice. Through our work we are in a position to promote the wider sustainability agenda by the manner in which we operate.

In this regards, we will assess the environmental impacts of our operations and set objectives and targets in order to improve our environmental performance. We will regularly review these targets.

We will:

• promote responsibility for the environment within the organisation and communicate and implement this policy at all levels within the workforce;

• reduce the use of energy, water and other resources;

• minimise waste by reduction, re-use and recycling methods;

• comply with all relevant environmental legislation/regulation;

• ensure that our policies and services are developed in a way that is complimentary to this policy;

• not prioritize growth ahead of sustainability requirements;

• encourage all suppliers to commit to the sustainable development philosophy;

• identify and provide appropriate training, advice and information for staff and encourage them to develop new ideas and initiatives;

• provide appropriate resources to meet the commitments of this policy; and

• promote and encourage involvement in local environmental initiatives/schemes.
