Environmental Policy Statement

Our core purpose is to enhance and sustain the world’s built, natural and social environment by delivering world class sustainable solutions which create business advantages for our clients.
 
All staff have a responsibility for endeavouring to reduce the environmental impacts of their work. This is to be achieved by the application of innovation and expertise to uphold the high standard of professional services which we deliver to our clients in Buildings, Environment and Transportation.

Complying with Legislation and Preventing Pollution

Through our project work and expertise we aim to identify significant environmental issues while providing technical and managerial solutions. We commit to identifying and continually improving our environmental performance and preventing pollution. As a minimum we will comply with all relevant legislative requirements and, where they exist, appropriate industry guidance and voluntary agreements.

Working with Clients

We will seek to encourage clients to adopt low environmental impact and sustainable solutions and we will engage in industry discussions to further environmental debate and understanding.

Our Operations

We will endeavour to use our offices as examples of good environmental practice, working within the constraints of our current building stock.

Using Energy Efficiently

We are committed to:

• reducing the environmental impact arising from energy consumption in our offices;
• promoting the use of clean, energy efficient sustainable technologies in our designs.

Reducing Transport Impacts

We will seek opportunities to reduce the need for travel in our own operations and when advising clients. We will encourage the use of public transport, car sharing and cycling for business and commuter travel.

Managing Material Use

We aim to minimise the use of natural resources in our office operations and projects by adopting the concepts of reduce, re-use, and recycle:

• seek opportunities to reduce significant material use
• encourage the re-use of materials
• encourage the recycling of materials and use of recycled materials.

Environmental Management

This policy is supported by an Environmental Management System embedded within the Integrated Management System (IMS). All personnel are required to conform to the procedures as defined in the IMS, which are fully maintained in accordance with the BS EN ISO 9001:2000, BS EN ISO 14001:2004 and OHSAS 18001:1999 Standards.

Our Environmental Policy supports our aims and aspirations as outlined within Faber Maunsell’s Sustainability Policy.
