  1. Maintain the highest environmental standards while providing our services, ensuring full compliance with existing legislation.
  2. Maintain a high standard of environmental awareness and compliance throughout the company.
  3. Ensure that all employees are aware of our environmental policy and of their need to comply with the detail of our environmental policy where it directly affects them.
  4. Regularly evaluate consumed materials & resources to minimise waste and maintain our recycling and waste reduction policies where practicable.

  6. Re-cycle all electronic items through WEEE & ISO14001 registered & compliant companies – this being particularly relevant to the nature of our business.
  7. Evaluate options to improve the efficiency of our activities so as to reduce the use of energy – non-renewable sources in particular.
