We have never been more aware of the effects we have on our environment, both as individuals and as organisations. In the way we run our business and in the services we provide, we seek to manage such issues as climate change, biodiversity, lanscape management, polution prevention and waste in ways that minimise our internal environmental impacts and makes a positive contribution on behalf of our clients.
As advocates of sustainable procurement we constantly look to innovate new and improved service solutions. Whether through investing in new technology or learning from the experiences of others we want to ensure that we do our part in reducing our environmental footprint.
The activities we perform are large in scale and geographically widespread. Working with our clients and our business partners we have identified many areas where we have been able to make a positive contribution to the environment. Equally, we have environmental management systems in place to ensure that we minimise any negative impacts that may arise as a result of our activities.
Our robust systems and integrated approach have gained us certification to the international environmental management systems standard ISO 14001 for the Amey Group and each of the main operating businesses.
We are always keen to understand how we rank against our peers and for the past six years have participated in the Business in the Environment (BiE) Index of Environmental Engagement. During that period our score has increased from 51% to 89% and we have been placed in the ‘Silver’ performance band.
