Environmental Statement 2008
We operate according to the ten working principles on which the company was founded. These principles have informed and directed the environmental performance of our company and cover every aspect of our operations and guide our future development. As a company that is founded on environmental objectives every aspect of our work seeks to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from the built environment. The main body of our Environmental Statement is broken down into chapters, which report on our progress under each principle. This EMAS statement covers our UK based activities.

As a company we are endeavouring to be a leader in Corporate Social Responsibility. Before selecting our own system of reporting we reviewed the following templates to ensure our approach is as relevant as possible:
- AccountAbility: The Assurance Standard
- CSR Academy: The CSR Competency Framework
- Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development: Making CSR Happen
- Business in the Community’s Business Impact Task Force (BITC’s BITF)
- Environmental Management and Audit System (EMAS)
- Total Corporate Responsibility (TCR) - Frank Dixon
We elected to work with a fusion of BITC’s BITF, EMAS and TCR because a wide variety of appropriate organisations support the BITC’s recommendations. EMAS will help us keep a particular emphasis on environmental issues, which is required by our vision. We will engage progressively in the TCR because our working principles require us to go further than most companies with CSR. We are all involved in this adventure and we welcome any feedback you may have.
