Our environmental performance

It’s our job to create a better place for people and wildlife. In doing so, we need to make sure we do our work in as environmentally sensitive way as possible.

Over the next five years (by March 2015) we plan to:

  • Reduce energy use in our offices and buildings
  • Reduce the amount of water we use
  • Avoid sending waste to landfill
  • Reduce the amount of miles we drive
  • Reduce the amount of carbon dioxide that all our activities put into the atmosphere
