operates under an overriding need to consider at all times the necessity to
make best use of all resources, both internally and with suppliers/clients,
thereby reducing waste and keeping to a minimum our negative impact on the
environment.
Sustainability, ie maintaining resources rather
than depleting or destroying them, not only makes sense for the planet as a
whole but also makes sound business sense. At present the UK and the
rest of Europe absorb 3 times what the planet can safely provide in
resources, with the USA using the equivalent of 5 planets. It is
incumbent on "The West" therefore to take the lead in reducing wasted energy
and the related Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions.
Even if you don't come at this from the
environmental side, working to get the best outcome from least input has
always been at the heart of running a successful business only now key
resources such as energy and raw materials are depleted or at risk and
certain ways of working, that were held as best practice, are costly and
have been identified as damaging to society and the planet.
With both national and local governments now
committed to lessening environmental impact the sustainability industry is
in full flow with many businesses recognising the financial as well as
welfare benefits from operating in a sustainable way.
Our own Co2 emissions and
sustainability plans are set out
here.
