ESG

Environmental

Our objective is to operate in harmony with the global environment and practice environmental protection as an integral part of our business activities. We will achieve this by minimising the environmental impact of our products, premises, activities and developments. We will seek to achieve continual improvement in the understanding of its environmental impacts and the contribution it can make to sustainable development.

Equality

We seek to achieve a representative workforce and will always recruit, train, develop and promote on the basis of merit and in accordance with the needs of the business. All employees will be encouraged to develop their full potential and the talents and resources of the workforce will be fully utilised to maximise the efficiency of the organisation.

Sustainability

Sustainability

We are committed to promoting sustainability. Concern for the environment and promoting a broader sustainability agenda are integral to our professional activities. We aim to follow and to promote good sustainability practice, to reduce the environmental impacts of all our activities and to help our clients and partners to do the same.

Modern day slavery

We are committed to highest level of ethical standards and sound governance arrangements and we set the highest standards of impartiality, integrity and objectivity in relation to the management of all of our activities. We fully support government objectives to eradicate modern slavery and human trafficking and were committed to driving out acts of modern day slavery from within its own business and that from within its supply chains. We acknowledge responsibility to the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and ensure transparency within the organisation and with suppliers of goods and services to the organisation.

Anti-bribery

We are committed to implementing effective systems to counter bribery. We aim to conduct all aspects of our business in an honest and ethical manner at all times. We act in accordance with the Bribery Act 2010 to maintain the highest possible standards of business practice and operate a 'zero-tolerance' policy to bribery.

Social Value Strategy

We see social value not just about how we provide social, economic and environmental benefits within the areas we work. Our approach to social value goes above and beyond and we work hard to provide long-term benefits and a lasting community legacy. We ensure that any initiative we undertake is supported through a strong network of local partners and providers. This allows us to make the best use of established local networks and ensures direct benefits to the local community and its residents.
