• Purchase sustainable products wherever feasible [e.g. recycled, FSC or low environmental impact products and energy from renewable sources]
• Train employees in good environmental practice and encourage employee’s involvement in environmental action.
• Reduce risks from environment, health or safety hazards for employees and others in the vicinity of our operations.
• Aim to include environmental and ethical considerations in investment decisions where appropriate.
