PROCESS APPROACH
Our system is process-based and all processes follow the Plan, Do, Check, Act cycle.
Improvement is fundamental to what we do. The process is dynamic; each part feeding into the next, enabling us to continually improve. Key areas for monitoring and measuring shall be assessed on a continual basis and form part of our management review activities.
The system is designed to ensure that we carry out works sustainably and without harm to people or the environment.
In particular, we will:
- Minimise negative impacts upon the environment wherever possible.
- Aim to become more energy and resource efficient and monitor and implement measures to minimise our carbon emissions e.g. by investing in electric vehicles and better technology.
- Leave greenbelt and countryside areas as they were found.
- Account for climate change adaptation during planning; to ensure resilience and continuity of our services and to provide best support to our clients and carry out carbon monitoring.
