Sustainability
Our journey and commitment to net zero mean changes for how we act as a business. We will listen and involve our workforce, business partners, and local communities to reduce our emissions.
Ramesh Patel, Managing Director
Our actions on climate change are a critical problem affecting all of us, not only today but for future generations to come. The effects of climate change are happening all around us, often impacting most on communities already experiencing health inequalities. As a business, our aim is to reduce our environmental impact where practicable. Carbon reducing measures form an integral part of our strategy, allowing us to improve operational performance and reduce potentially harmful emissions.
To allow us to achieve this we must minimize waste and promote recycling to help reduce the burden on landfill. We will promote environmental awareness and responsibility amongst our employees and others and seek to continuously improve our environmental performance. We actively promote telephone conferencing as a means of reducing travel requirements and evaluate the potential benefits of homeworking. It is important to encourage our employees and suppliers to be responsible and utilise energy and water sparingly.
We will consider environmental issues when purchasing and already partner with leading logistics organisations that share our ethos on “carbon footprint”. We shall purchase our electricity from suppliers who re-invest in renewable energy sources. We will choose vehicles with fuel efficiency and CO2 emissions in mind when our current fleet of company vehicles are due for replacement. Fuel efficiency and mileage will be closely monitored. We will identify carbon reduction initiatives and carry out ongoing measurements of the impact of reduction initiatives in order to aid company reporting of greenhouse gas emissions.
