Sustainability Policy

Cascading the London Analytics Sustainability Policy

We shall source our products and services from business with sustainability policies consistent with our own wherever possible.

Environmental Policy

London Analytics will carry out its business in accordance with the three Rs of good environmental practice:

  1. Reduce

    Consumption of energy and materials will be minimised, in so far as is practicable in maintaining business continuity. Where materials are available from recycled sources, these will be preferred when total product lifecycle resource costs are minimised. Energy will be procured from sustainable sources wherever possible. Preferred methods of business travel are, in descending order: walking, cycling, tram, bus, rail, tube, car, taxi, plane.

  2. Re-use

    When any materials have reached the end of their useful life, they will be assigned new roles within the business where possible.

  3. Recycle

    When any materials have no further use within the business, they will be recycled where possible. Recycling bins are available in the office for paper, glass and metals.

Engagement

Stakeholders will be consulted on any business decisions that affect their quality of life, and their environment. Employees will be consulted in person. Other stakeholders will be consulted in person, by email, by post or by phone as is most appropriate in each case.

Equity

We shall provide equitable opportunities and outcomes for all our stakeholders, particularly the poorest and most vulnerable members of the community. Resources will be used to provide for the needs of all, without exclusion or disadvantage to any group.

Economic Development

Inward investment will be targeted at geographic areas scoring badly on the ODPM Multiple Deprivation Index.

Application and Monitoring

This policy is active as of 1 June 2008, has been approved by the Director, and will be reviewed on or before 1 June 2009.

Pro-active and reactive monitoring will be used to ensure implementation of the policy. Disciplinary procedures will apply to any employees who operate outside or against this policy. Application of this policy will be monitored on an annual basis.
