The mission of the Environmental Academy is to provide excellence in training for a better environment and business growth.
All staff at the Academy are passionate about environmental protection and we actively seek to minimise the environmental impacts associated with our own operations. In addition, all staff are committed to providing quality environmental training to ensure all our clients meet their own environmental objectives and targets.
The Academy is committed to the careful stewardship of the environment and its natural resources. To fulfil this commitment the Academy will endeavour to:
- Ensure that appropriate environmental training is provided for all employees in environmental matters relevant to their work;
- Provide effective advice and environmental training to assist clients to meet their requirements for environmental best practice, prevention of pollution and legal compliance;
- Control our own activities to ensure prevention of pollution and compliance with environmental legislation;
- Ensure continual improvement of our environmental performance through e.g.:
- Monitoring and measuring our energy consumption and promoting energy efficiency;
- Contributing to projects run by the World Land Trust to balance unavoidable emissions;
- Promoting the use of sustainable transport options for the staff commute and business activities;
- Elimination, reduction, reuse and recycling of our waste streams where possible;
- Consider the environmental performance of suppliers and subcontractors when selecting services and products whilst also making a conscious effort to select environmentally preferable materials and products and support local suppliers.
This policy has been circulated to all employees and is available to the public on request.
