Environment Policy
Fishburn Hedges Group is committed to minimising its environmental impacts and seeks
to integrate environmental considerations into all its business activities. The Group holds
the Carbon Trust Standard, an independent certification which is awarded to organisations
that measure, manage and reduce their carbon footprint.
In managing our business, we will:
• Conduct our activities in full knowledge of and compliance with environmental
regulations.
• Integrate environmental considerations and objectives into our purchasing
decisions.
• Establish environmental targets and measure performance against them.
• Minimise consumption of natural resources and wastage of materials as far as
economically practicable.
We will deliver this commitment through a dedicated annual plan managed by our internal
environment committee and signed off by our management group.
In 2011/12 our plan aims to:
• Reduce energy usage by 10% by 2012 by encouraging
efficient use of lighting, heating and electronic equipment.
• Minimise the use of resources by our people, particularly paper, and promote
recycling.
• Promote awareness of the environmental impacts of transport, and encourage the
use of public transport.
• Encourage awareness and commitment to consider the environment amongst our
people and our suppliers.
