Environmental Policy
We believe that businesses are responsible for achieving good environmental practice and operating in a sustainable manner.
We are committed to reducing our environmental impact and continually improving our environmental performance as an integral and fundamental part of our business strategy and operating methods.
In line with the European Union and the Government of Ireland’s stance, the firm is committed to providing the highest standard of environmental awareness and responsibility in this and every contract.
In particular, we will, throughout the life of the contract, seek to employ new or improved environmentally preferable goods or procedures, when they become commercially available.
We have committed already to reduce the firm’s carbon footprint throughout the business by using environmentally friendly products and services wherever possible and encouraging energy and resource saving wherever possible. This includes the use of recycled products and consumables, staff awareness of environmental issues so that the firm does not waste energy, providing access to carbon offsetting projects, safe and responsible recycling of redundant equipment from the firm, preferably by securely wiping data from computers and providing obsolete office equipment to bona fide charities for re-use in areas where it can provide a substantial benefit to underprivileged children.
It is our priority to encourage our customers, suppliers and all business associates to do the same. Not only is this sound commercial sense for all; it is also a matter of delivering on our duty of care towards future generations.
OUR ENVIRONMENTAL OBJECTIVES
- Wholly support and comply with or exceed the requirements of current environmental legislation and codes of practice.
- Minimise our waste and then reuse or recycle as much of it as possible.
- Minimise energy and water usage in our buildings, vehicles and processes in order to conserve supplies, and minimise our consumption of natural resources, especially where they are non-renewable.
- Operate and maintain company vehicles with due regard to environmental issues as far as reasonably practical and encourage the use of alternative means of transport and car sharing as appropriate.
- Apply the principles of continuous improvement in respect of air, water, noise and light pollution from our premises and reduce any impacts from our operations on the environment and local community.
- As far as possible purchase products and services that do the least damage to the environment and encourage others to do the same.
- Assess the environmental impact of any new processes or products we intend to introduce in advance. Ensure that all employees understand our environmental policy and confirm to the high standards it required.
- Address complaints about any breach of our Environmental Policy promptly and to the satisfaction of all concerned.
- We will update our Environmental Policy annually in consultation with staff, associates and clients.
