Environment & Sustainability

Standage fully supports issues and procedures which contribute to improving the quality of life of the local and wider community, both now and in the future. It recognises that wasteful use of resources and the exploitation of fossil fuels across the world are contributing to:

Global warming and climate change
Pollution of air, land and water
Loss of forests, soils, fish stocks and other resources

This undermines our local environment and reduces opportunities for a good quality of life in the future.

Standage is committed to promote sustainable processes and to influence partners and supply chain to adopt a more sustainable path.

Our long term objectives are to promote positive environmental impacts. As well as complying with all relevant environmental legislation, we will focus on the following areas to improve and sustain:

Waste management including recycling
Transport, travel patterns and work practices
Energy usage
Water consumption
Purchasing and usage of materials
Air Quality
Noise
Use of parks, open spaces and trees
Sustainable development and the Built environment
Working with young people
Publicity and education within and outside the company
