Refreshe: Our environment

You are here:

Our environment

We use laptops rather than desktops to reduce power consumption
Laptops are sourced from environmentally responsible suppliers
We turn off power in the office wherever possible, all power is turned off at night
We participate in Earth Hour

Business cards are printed on 100% post consumer waste with vegetable based inks
All documents and correspondence (internal and external) are generated electronically
Our reports have been specifically designed in a format that can easily be viewed onscreen
Where paper is required, we only use recycled paper, we print on both sides and two pages to a side wherever possible
Used paper is recycled and notebooks are made from recycled paper
We use video conferencing wherever possible to minimise business travel

Our primary indirect impact on the environment is via our suppliers
Our suppliers are chosen on the basis of their environmental performance to minimise our impact on the environment

The nature of our business means that our indirect impact on the environment, through our clients, is negative
Our staff have performance targets for the level of our clients environmental impact that we can reduce

We maintain specific environmental performance targets for our business
Environmental performance is reported on a quarterly basis alongside our financial reporting
Environmental performance is measured on both an absolute and a per capita basis

As a company, we believe in reducing our environmental impact rather than using mechanisms that merely offset the impact of our activities
We aim to reduce, reuse, recycle whatever we can, wherever possible
As a last resort and, where no alternative solutions can be identified, we will offset our carbon emissions
