The main environmental impacts of the business include waste packaging; energy and water consumption and efficiency; transport and logistics; environmental performance of contractors, subcontractors and suppliers; and environmental legislation affecting the activities, products and services of the organisation.

 

While we do not manufacture products, we recognise that aspects of our operations, including energy use, transport, packaging, and the sourcing of equipment – contribute to climate change. We are committed to reducing these impacts by minimising business travel, adopting energy-efficient technologies, reducing and recycling packaging, and working with responsible suppliers. Through these measures, we aim to play our part in mitigating climate change and supporting the wider transition to a low-carbon economy.
