Environmental policy
It is fashionable for companies to make bold claims about their
‘green’ credentials, and ‘carbon footprint’. We are realistic that,
as a group of more than 120 businesses, we have a wide variety of
premises and workplaces right up to our new headquarters in Kent
and other newer offices that possess high levels of efficiency and
environmental friendliness. Read our
environmental policy in full.
