Yes, we are committed to reducing the emissions of the 6 greenhouse gases identified in the Kyoto Protocol as contributing to climate change.
These are the areas we target:
- Fuel consumption in vehicles owned by the company
- Flights & accommodation
- Business travel land and sea
- Employee commuting
- Emissions from purchased fuels used by the company
- Treatment of waste from electronic materials
- General waste
These are some of the measures we have implemented in order to reduce our emissions of GHGs:
Fuel consumption / business travel / employee commuting
- To minimise fuel consumption, engineers share vehicles on their journeys to and from site
- We have invested in 6-seater vehicles to reduce the no of vehicles which we send to site
- Wherever possible, we keep our journeys to 75 miles or less
- When we replace vehicles we replace with electric
- Electronic car charging points installed at our offices
- Reduced no of face-to-face meetings
- Car share scheme for office-based staff
- Facilities for showering and changing at work, to encourage walking / cycling to the office
Emissions from purchased fuel
- Energy saving LED lighting installed throughout offices
- Daylight dimming PIRS near windows and standard PIRS elsewhere to ensure lights are only used when necessary
- External lights controlled by timeclock to prevent operation during daylight hours
Treatment of waste from electronic materials / general waste
- Waste management plan for every site
- Recycling in our offices
- Food waste separate from general waste on all sites / offices
- WEEE agreement in place with electrical wholesalers / distributors
