Our environmental
commitments and actions:
We will work closely with our
customers to support and influence
their sustainability objectives,
through effective and open
dialogue. Using our expertise to
apply effective energy, chemical
and waste management systems
that reduce the impact on the
environment and contribute
towards our customers’
sustainability targets.
Work in partnership with our
customers to have a wider impact
We will take environmental
sustainability into account in our
global and local procurement
processes, developing strong
partnerships with those suppliers
that share our goals, to drive
positive change through our
supply chain, with initiatives such
as reducing single use plastics,
safe disposal of chemicals and the
reduction of waste to landfill.
Optimise the sustainability
of our supply chain
Through procurement based
on long-term environmental
sustainability within our supply
chain, we will leverage technology
to drive building efficiencies,
transition to electric vehicles, and
reduce our reliance on natural
resources in our operations.
Reduce our own reliance
on natural resources
Through education training, and
enhanced policies, we will motivate
and support our colleagues to take
steps, big and small, to minimise
the environmental costs at our
customers’ sites and to go further
than before. Our colleagues are the
ambassadors for our strategy.
Embed sustainable behaviours
into everything we do
Champion change
We will expand our partnerships with change-makers – be it Governments, NGOs
or our customers – to make the case for effective sustainability strategies across
industries. Closer to home, we will use our expertise to add value and drive
sustainable best practices, to bring about positive change in the communities in which
we operate.
