We accept responsibility for the impact our operations might have on the local and global environment and are committed to reducing them.
We are currently striving to:
- Minimise waste by ensuring we are as environmentally sensitive as possible
- Dispose of waste safely and responsibly
- Minimise carbon emissions by discouraging the use of private vehicles and increased use of low carbon transport
- Reduce the impact of business travel by using low carbon transport for meetings both locally and nationally
- Actively promote reuse and recycling within our office, and encourage the adoption of similar principles by our clients and suppliers
- Raise staff awareness of environmental issues and enlist their support in achieving our aims
- Increase IT software reliance over the last two years to enable being a paperless office
- Reduce resource consumption by now being as paperless as possible
- Adopt the practice of purchasing and reworking used equipment rather than new where possible
- Encourage sustainable commuting transport choices
- Become Carbon Literate by 2026
- Measure and understand how Lerica impacts the environment by calculating our organisational carbon footprint and setting goals to improve from this baseline by 2027
- Creating an environmental action plan to reduce carbon emissions of Lerica
- Reach our target of being Carbon Zero by 2030
This statement will be reviewed every year with our next review due in January 2025.
