Our Environment

Twelve environmental commitments, including the bees.

• 01Commit to planting at least 100 trees every year for the next ten years as carbon offset.
• 02Replace our fleet of diesel cars with electric models
• 03Use local suppliers and sub-contractors to minimise transport and its associated CO2 emissions.
• 04Use Green Energy providers when installing new supplies, e.g. greenenergy.uk.com
• 05Reduce the consumption of goods, materials, and energy, avoid waste, conserve, re-use or recycle resources as appropriate.
• 06Aim to prevent or limit environmental accidents and to have contingency measures in place to minimise the effects if they do happen.
• 07Train key staff and educate all our staff and our supply chain about their environmental responsibilities and our priorities and programmes.
• 08Encourage all individuals, organisations and agencies over whom we have influence to adopt, wherever practicable, similar policies and practices.
• 09Use the most environmentally responsible goods and services consistent with good performance and encourage all our contractors and suppliers to do the same.
• 10Reduce the movement of goods and the need to travel and encourage and promote walking, cycling, vehicle sharing, improved and integrated public transport and the best practicable environmental forms of accessible transport.
• 11Improve energy and water conservation and management in our buildings/building sites.
• 12Continue to keep bees which are an essential link in the ecosystem (not to mention a source of lovely local honey)
