Environmental Policy

We recognise that the operation of our business can have an effect on the local, national and global environment. In response to this AMS Planning is committed to improving its environmental performance.

Environmental Policy

• 1. Reduce or prevent the incidence of pollution wherever possible.
• 2. Compliance with all relevant environmental legislation as it effects the operation of our business or the advice we give to our clients.
• 3. Reduce the amount of energy we consume as a business.
• 4. Reduce waste through recycling and reuse.
• 5. Develop an awareness and understanding with our employees, clients and the wider community of the interaction between the practice’s actions and the environment. Encourage environmental, social and economic sustainability in those actions.

Environmental Action Plan

• 1. Produce an environmental management system and make all employees aware of the ways in which the practice will work to address the aims of the Environmental Policy.
• 2. Set up training and systems for employees to actively reduce their own carbon footprint; both in the operation of the practice and in their daily lives.
• 3. Provide support and advice to employees, suppliers and co-consultants on environmental matters relating to our operations and ensure all are made aware of the environmental policy.
• 4. Monitor, audit and review our performance through the use of an environmental champion within the practice.
