Running a business in a world concerned about the longevity of natural resources means you have to think about your impact on the environment. Our sustainability policy says that:

• we aim to have a low carbon footprint by working from a home office most days of the week and planning multiple external meetings on one day rather than over several whenever practicable
• if we have meetings in the city or anywhere else more quickly easily and cheaply accessed by public transport, car or bicycle we'll use those means to get there rather than take the car
• we strive to achieve a paperless office. If we do print out, we prefer to use recycled paper whenever possible
• we don't run airconditioning/heating/cooling all day every day. We prefer fresh air, and only turn on heating and cooling when our work is impacted on by climate discomfort
• we switch off office equipment each night and use power saving modes at other times
• we use eco-friendly low voltage or LED light bulbs and a percentage of green power in our offices
• we believe in recycling. Unwanted paper is recycled on a fortnightly basis through our local Council. We reuse office supplies such as rubber bands and paper clips (but not, however, staples :-)).
• we discourage the use of plastic throwaway drinking vessels in our work (and home) environment for staff and visitors and only use glass and ceramic which can be washed and reused. On the road, we use metal flasks.
• we prefer to buy office supplies which use minimal packaging
• we prefer to work with partners whose environmental and sustainability policies are akin to our own
