Environmental Policy

We comply with applicable UK law and local London requirements, including the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and the Climate Change Act 2008. We track regulatory changes and update this policy accordingly.

We maintain an Environmental Management System aligned with ISO 14001, covering office and site operations. The EMS includes monitoring of energy, water, waste and materials, internal audits, corrective actions and continual improvement.

• Reduce office energy use by 10% per year (kWh per FTE).
• Increase site waste recycling rate by 15% within two years.
• Transition 25% of fleet to EVs by 2027; train all drivers in eco-driving.
• Source 80% of timber/joinery from FSC or PEFC-certified suppliers.
• Track and report project carbon hotspots; prioritise low-carbon options where feasible.

• Discuss sustainable design and construction options with clients at project outset.
• Install sensor taps and automatic/smart lighting; use LED throughout; improve insulation.
• Phase out combustible boilers where practicable; consider heat-pump/low-carbon systems.
• Provide recycling points; segregate waste; shred confidential waste for recycling.
• Donate redundant equipment/furniture to local schools and charities.
• Promote greener travel: EVs, public transport subsidies, cycling, walking and car sharing.

• Prefer local suppliers and responsibly sourced products to reduce transport emissions.
• Select durable, low-impact and energy-efficient appliances and materials.
• Request environmental data from key suppliers; include sustainability criteria in evaluations.

• Induction and refresher training for employees and subcontractors on site environmental controls.
• Toolbox talks on waste reduction, spill prevention, noise/dust control and eco-driving.
• Environmental topics are a standing item at EHS Committee meetings.

The Managing Director has overall responsibility. An appointed Environmental Champion coordinates EMS delivery, tracks targets and reports to the Board quarterly.

This policy is published on our website and shared with stakeholders. We will publish an annual summary of environmental performance and review this policy at least annually or following significant regulatory/operational change.
