We believe that environmental responsibility starts at home, and at our British head office we make it a daily priority to make better use of resources.
Thanks to a recent refurbishment of our Sunderland HQ, we’re reducing our energy use in a range of ways. The building’s efficient new design makes better use of natural light and ventilation, and we’ve put measures in place to keep waste and water use to a minimum too.
With whole walls of windows and skylights, our new building makes better use of natural light while motion-sensor switching and efficient bulbs will further limit our electricity consumption. All of the electricity that is used onsite is sourced from renewable energy.
We minimise travel by using video conferencing for meetings whenever possible, and our company fleet features lower-emission vehicles. We encourage our team members to walk, cycle, car-share or use public transport to come to work.



Our commitment to the 3 R’s – reduce, reuse, recycle - means zero waste from our office goes to landfill.
We promote recycling at all our sites, segregating 12 separate waste streams at our head office, recycling around 70% of our waste and sending other materials to be processed as refuse-derived fuel, which can be used to produce electricity. This means we send absolutely no site waste to landfill. We provide mains-fed water coolers for our staff, eliminating the need to buy plastic bottles, and all the paper products on site from the toilet roll to printer paper is made from recycled content.
