Environmental Policy

water2business (hereafter referred to as the organisation) is committed to integrating environmental best practice into all its business activities.

The organisation accepts its environmental responsibilities and recognises its obligation to reduce the impact of business activities on the environment. The organisation will achieve this through a policy of continual improvement in environmental performance.

To achieve these objectives, the organisation will:

• adopt best practice and assist, where possible, in developing innovative solutions to the environmental issues and problems facing its sector;
• conduct its activities in full knowledge of, and compliance with, the requirements of applicable environmental legislation and Approved Codes of Practice;
• fully integrate environmental considerations and objectives into its business decisions;
• minimise consumption of natural resources, including energy, water and raw materials, as far as is economically practicable;
• prevent pollution and minimise emissions as far as is practicable;
• encourage our recycling procedures and the switching off of lights and electrical devices when not in use, to minimise its environmental impact;
• raise awareness amongst members of staff through appropriate education and training, encouraging them to become more environmentally responsible;
• encourage awareness of, and commitment to, improved environmental performance amongst suppliers and customers;
• help our customers become more energy and water efficient;
• work within the local community and with others, to take into account their environmental concerns and develop and pursue environmental initiatives;
• communicate this policy to members of staff, and consult with them to ensure that they take an active role in its implementation and review; and
• monitor and review its environmental performance and publish and communicate this performance to staff and other concerned parties on an annual basis.

We will report on our progress against these environmental objectives and commitments on an annual basis.
