Sustainability Policy

Work Practices

• Ensure equality, inclusion, and respect for diversity are practised in the workplace.
• Facilitate employee wellbeing by prioritising health and safety, flexible job design, skill development, and work-life balance.
• Encourage voluntary work within the local community and environmental or social impact organisations.
• Prefer suppliers with aligned sustainability values.

Travel & Meetings

• Walk or use public transport to attend meetings, site visits, etc., where practical, unless cost or time prohibitive.
• Avoid meetings in person where virtual alternatives are practical. Time meetings effectively to avoid multiple trips.
• Reduce the need for staff travel by supporting alternative working arrangements, including working from home.
• Purchase carbon credits when booking flights.

Purchase of Equipment & Resources

• Minimise use of paper and other office consumables.
• Identify opportunities to reduce waste and recycle, where possible (including redundant electronic equipment).
• Reduce energy consumption by using natural light, where possible, and purchasing energy conserving equipment and consumables, such as efficient lightbulbs. Turn off lights and equipment when not in use.
• Seek to purchase electricity from a supplier committed to renewable energy (where feasible due to office leasing arrangements).
• Conserve water and prefer non-disposable drink containers.
• Use environmentally friendly cleaning products, prefer reduced packaging, and purchase fair trade and/or organic products, where possible.
• Recycle.
