Compliance
This policy is guided by:
• Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999
• AS/NZS ISO14001:2004 Environmental management system –
Requirements with guidance for use.
Procedure
Use of resources (10% reduction in resource usage)
- Walk, cycle and/or use public transport to attend meetings, site visits etc,
apart from in exceptional circumstances where the alternatives are
impractical and/or cost prohibitive
- Avoid physically travelling to meetings etc where alternatives are
available and practical, such as using teleconferencing, video conferencing
or web cams, and efficient timing of meetings to avoid multiple trips.
These options are also often more time efficient, while not sacrificing the
benefits of regular contact with customers and partners
- To reduce the need to travel to meetings and elsewhere, and facilitate
regular client contact, we will provide a web cam to clients free of charge
for the duration of a project where appropriate.
- Reduce the need for the staff to travel by supporting alternative working
arrangements, including home working etc, and promote the use of public
transport by locating offices and warehouse in accessible locations.
- Use an emissions recording scheme for business travel to monitor our
impact.
- Reduce the energy consumption of office equipment by purchasing energy
efficient equipment and good housekeeping
- Install automatic lightening system
- Install window wherever appropriate to obtain as much natural light as
possible
- Install automatic flush low flow toilets and hands free faucets
- Seek to purchase electricity from a supplier committed to renewable
energy.
- Ensure that timber furniture, and any other timber products, are recycled
orfrom well-managed, sustainable sources
- Purchase fair-trade and/or organic beverages.
Waste management (10% reduction in wastage)
- Use electronic document storage rather than printing copies of documents
- Minimise our use of paper and other office consumables, for example by
double- siding all paper used, and identifying opportunities to reduce
waste
- As far as possible arrange for the reuse or recycling of office waste,
including paper, computer supplies and redundant equipment
- Reuse packaging that supplies arrive in
- Recycle paper cardboard, glass, aluminium cans, printer cartridge, office
furniture and computer equipment
Promoting volunteering
- Undertake voluntary work with the local community and/or environmental
organisations and make donations to seek to offset carbon emissions from
our activities.
- Ensure that any associates that we employ take account of sustainability
issues in their advice to customer.
Improving social inclusion(90% score on employee satisfaction in fair
working conditions and fairness)
- Consistent employee development practices and principles are applied
across the organization
- Employees are developed systematically on the basis of defined needs and
that development undertaken is cost effective and meets agreed standards
- Regularly review the Environmental Sustainability Policy and seek to
reduce the Company’s impact each and every year.
