Our Sustainability Policy is founded on a set of core principles that guide our commitment to responsible practices:

• We are dedicated to adhering to and, when possible, surpassing all relevant legislation, regulations, and codes of practice related to sustainability. This ensures that we meet legal requirements and set higher standards for our operations.
• Sustainability is a key consideration in every business decision. We strive to weave these principles into the very fabric of our operations, ensuring that all aspects of our work reflect our commitment to a sustainable future.
• We believe in fostering a culture of sustainability within our organisation. To achieve this, we ensure that every team member is well-informed about our Sustainability Policy and is actively engaged in its implementation and continuous improvement.

• Our goal is to minimise the environmental impact of all office activities and transportation methods. We actively seek ways to reduce our carbon footprint and promote eco-friendly practices.
• We recognise the importance of partnership and collaboration in promoting sustainability. Therefore, we communicate our Sustainability Policy to our clients and suppliers, inspiring them to adopt sound sustainable management practices that align with our values.
• We are committed to transparency and accountability. Each year, we conduct a thorough review of our sustainability performance, report our findings, and set new targets to enhance our efforts in sustainability continually.

In order to put these principles into practice we will:

• Avoid physically travelling to meetings etc where alternatives are available and practical, such as using teleconferencing, video conferencing, spark boards or web cams, and efficient timing of meetings to avoid multiple trips. These options are also often more time efficient, while not sacrificing the benefits of regular contact with clients and partners.
• Reduce the need for our staff to travel by supporting alternative working arrangements, including home working etc.
• Minimise our use of paper and other office consumables, for example by double-siding all paper used, and identifying opportunities to reduce waste.
• As far as possible arrange for the reuse or recycling of office waste, including paper, computer supplies and redundant equipment.
• Reduce the energy consumption of office equipment by purchasing energy efficient equipment and good housekeeping.
• Purchase electricity from a supplier committed to renewable energy. Seek to maximise the proportion from renewable energy sources, whilst also supporting investment in new renewable energy schemes.
• Ensure that timber furniture, and any other timber products, are recycled or are from well-managed, sustainable sources and are Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified.

• Purchase fair-trade and/or organic beverages.
• Undertake voluntary work with the local community and/or environmental organisations and make donations to seek to offset carbon emissions from our activities.
• Ensure that any Subcontractors, Suppliers or Designers that we employ take account of sustainability issues.
• Where possible deploy “Virtualisation” technology in the IT Department to ensure that the companies energy consumption requirements are minimised by reducing the amount of physical machines required to mount IT solutions onto.
• Strive to achieve a more paperless office. To this end several document management systems have been developed that allow employees and customers retrieve and transmit documents electronically e.g. PODs Invoices etc.
• Through our “LoadTracker” Load Building and Satellite Tracking software continually monitor all vehicle journeys and optimise load-building to ensure that all vehicle movements and volumes are minimised thereby reducing our CO2 emissions.
