Environmental Policy and "Green Office Guide"

GH Resourcing recognise and understand the importance of protecting the environment and promoting best practice. We are committed to continual improvement in our environmental performance, and minimising adverse environmental impacts where reasonably practicable.

We demonstrate our commitment by:

  • Reviewing and understanding the range of environmental impacts arising from our activities
  • Ensuring that we comply with and, where possible, exceed all applicable UK, European and International Environmental legislation
  • Setting environmental objectives and targets for our most significant impacts, and defining the means of achieving them to improve our environmental management and performance
  • Reducing energy and resource consumption by implementing effective and efficient reduction methods consistent with best practice
  • Influencing and managing our suppliers and contractors to ensure that goods procured and services undertaken comply with our environmental policy
  • Developing green travel plans by encouraging staff to adopt greener travel practices
  • Minimising the use of toxic and environmentally damaging materials and preventing the release of pollutants
  • Following company all rebrand in 2007, all office stationary is now produced using recycled paper
  • Minimising the generation of waste and implementing recycling initiatives
  • Ensuring that the policy is understood, implemented and maintained at all levels within the organisation and is supported by suitable education and training
  • Openly communicating our progress towards addressing environmental impacts to interested internal and external parties and responding appropriately to reasonable requests for information
  • Periodically reviewing the policy to take account of changes in organisation, legislation, government targets or other internal and external factors

Key ‘Green' Targets: Guidelines and Policies ‘Greening‘ our offices makes good business sense. Simply put, the less we use, the less we pay for. Also, it will assist in the promotion of GH Resourcing as a responsible and forward-looking organisation, and ensure our own contribution to the concept of sustainable development. ‘Greening' our office involves:

  • reducing resources consumed/waste produced
  • reducing the amount of water and energy consumed and pollution produced
  • buying goods and services which minimise environmental impacts
  • increasing the amount of waste we recycle or re-use
