Principles in Practice

Avoid

Avoid the generation of transport emissions in our vehicles by walking, cycling, car-pooling and using public transport where practical when travelling to meetings and attending the office
Substitute travel by using teleconference, video conferencing or alternate technologies where appropriate
Avoid generation of waste and emissions at the outset through sustainable procurement

Reduce

Reduce waste through considering the full life cycle of goods, equipment and packaging by ensuring end of life is accounted for in all purchases
Support work from home arrangements through removing the need to travel and associated transport emissions
Reduce energy consumption through minimum energy performance standards on purchased equipment and adopting energy efficient technologies and behaviour

Neutralise

Where transport is unavoidable track and report on associated emissions and seek to offset where viable
Seek to divert waste from landfill (avoiding harmful greenhouse gas emissions) by reusing and recycling where possible
Purchase renewable electricity for our operations and support local renewable energy projects where possible
