We ensure that resource use is considered over a sufficiently long timescale so that present and future generations are not disadvantaged by excessive and unnecessary consumption
We aim to eliminate, reduce or manage demand for materials used to avoid the production of waste on all projects
We encourage staff to respect the environment by utilising appropriate operating procedures and training and by providing information concerning the storage, handling, distribution, use and disposal of hazardous substances
We will provide information about identified potential environmental hazards to relevant clients, authorities, employees, and other affected organisations
Where possible, we will suggest materials and products that are made from renewable, sustainably acquired materials; have recycled content; are durable; are low maintenance; are non-toxic or low toxic; are recyclable; and are low polluting in manufacture, shipping, and installation
