We encourage our staff to be responsible, green citizens.

We consider the environmental impacts in our purchasing.

We endeavour to work with partner organisations that share our green values.

It is our intention to operate our business in as environmentally-friendly way as we can.We reuse, or recycle all of our incoming packaging materials like cardboard etc. 

We minimise our use of paper. Key information about us is readily  available on this site. The increasing use of e-mail greatly reduces the  volume of paper used in hard copy correspondence, envelopes and  letters.Processing information electronically is also much more energy  and carbon efficient than physically sending a hard copy. 

Our  consumption of fuel and energy is very closely monitored and we take  care that it is not wasted through inefficiency or casualness. For  example, we utilize visible signs to remind staff to turn off lights  when leaving a room, and ask staff to use computers responsibly i.e.  turning them off at night and using the stand-by mode during the day.

Where  possible we will choose to source our materials from suppliers who  operate in an environmentally friendly manner and who are geographically  local to us to reduce delivery miles.

We aim to use Fair Trade suppliers wherever possible. We  will work with our suppliers to buy locally where possible in  order to reduce our food miles and to promote British suppliers.

We will choose the vehicles we operate with fuel efficiency in mind and monitor their fuel consumption closely. We will buy local.

We will keep an eye on energy usage.
