The consultancy conducts its business with a positive regard to environmental issues, where this is both practical and possible, with the ultimate objective of zero environmental impact. Our actions include, but are not necessarily limited to the following:

• All our consultants work from home and maintain regular contact with one another, the consultancy’s main office and our clients, by telephone, fax and email, thus minimising travel and correspondence by post.

• Where possible, public transport is used when attending client meetings.

• Limits are placed on the printing of documents that are otherwise held electronically.

• Where single-sided printing is required, the reverse side of any non-confidential “scrap” paper is used for printing draft documents. Confidential documents are shredded prior to recycling.

• Where possible, office paper with a high recycled content is used.

• Envelopes are re-used, where possible, for internal correspondence.

• Packaging materials are saved and re-used or recycled.

• Non-confidential paper, cardboard, catalogues, magazines and used printer ink cartridges are recycled as a matter of policy.

• Redundant office equipment is offered to local recycling schemes, charities or individuals, as appropriate.

• Fairly traded coffee and tea are provided at our offices and, where appropriate, we encourage the promotion of fair trade products in the catering facilities that we advise on, subject to client approval.

• We endeavour to source goods and services from suppliers who hold similar ethical and environmental values and beliefs.
