• Working with suppliers and contractors located in the same county or region wherever possible.
• Operating digitally and electronically wherever possible.
• Ensuring all non-avoidable waste is reused, recycled or composted if it can be, and that residual non-recyclable waste is disposed of responsibly and in line with current regulations.
• Purchase electricity from 100% renewable by May 2009.
• Offsetting carbon emissions associated with the company’s operations as a final measure where all means of minimisation and/or behavioural change have been exhausted.
• Ensuring that all employees and sub-contractors have the necessary knowledge and competence to uphold practices, procedures and commitments within the EMS, identifying and meeting training needs as appropriate.
• Allocating financial and staff resources to ensure that these commitments are honoured.
