Alongside our customers and other stakeholders, we recognise that environmental sustainability is a critical factor in the wellbeing of society. We also recognise that the impacts of climate and environmental emergencies will be felt ever more acutely across the public service landscape, driving evolution, adaptation and innovation in order to keep pace with the changing needs of society.

Our impact and opportunity to make a positive difference from an environmental perspective varies in each market and is dependent on the nature of services we deliver and the level of operational control we hold at any given Contract.

We are committed to helping protect the environment by:

Managing our environmental impact

We adopt sustainable business practices to reduce the environmental impacts of the services we deliver, the products and services we buy and the ways in which we operate. Where we have direct control of environmental impacts, activities are managed locally.

We strive to:

• build a culture of environmental stewardship that drives improvement;

• minimise adverse environmental impact through effective environmental management systems;

• actively manage environmental hazards and risks arising from our activities and services; and

• monitor our performance and investigate any incidents that occur.
