Resource Efficiency

Following a review of our sustainability strategy in 2007, involving the identification of sustainability issues material to our business, resource efficiency was identified as an emerging issue and a potential risk to our business. Through a materiality process embarked upon by senior managers and the sustainability committee, a high level commitment was identified and developed to help combat this risk:

High Level Commitment

We will use resources efficiently. We will reduce our energy and water use, limit waste production, increase the reuse and recycling of our own waste and encourage our customers to do likewise.

This is underpinned by a statement of belief which gives the business rationale for the commitment.

Statement of Belief

We believe that the prudent use of resources maximises business efficiency, as well as sustaining environmental capital for future generations.
