Our
company and the environment
Helphire
Group plc is committed to following best environmental practice
in its day-to-day conduct of business and management of
resources and facilities. Several initiatives and procedures
have already been implemented with encouraging results.
To ensure ongoing focus on strategic and tactical corporate
environmental responsibility a Facilities Contracts Supervisor
has been appointed with a remit to evaluate current energy
usage and Group-wide emissions, working with key Group functions
to target a reduction in both energy consumption and emissions.
The
Group's Board, of course, retains ultimate responsibility
for setting and monitoring policy on environmental matters
with key aims of the Group being:
- to
take all practical steps to ensure the Group’s business
activities have the minimum negative impact on the environment;
- to
achieve the most economic and careful use of sources of
fuel and energy;
- to
minimising the production of waste and managing the disposal
of necessary waste in a safe manner; and
- to
make the maximum practical use of recycling.
|
|
| At
present, improvements in current systems and procedures are
being considered by staff forums, key management teams and
appointed staff. Specialist advisors are appointed, as required,
to assist in this process to help ensure all potential opportunities
to improve performance are exploited and compliance with statutory
requirements are met. |

Annual
monitoring
In order
to be able to measure any improvement achieved through changes
to working practices, equipment and facilities, experts
from key Government bodies have been approached to conduct
an audit on present levels of energy usage and emissions.
Going forward, this information will be published, with
trend analyses undertaken to determine the effectiveness
of actions undertaken. Positive results will be used as
a tool to encourage and reward staff for ideas and actions.
