Environmental Commitment

Helping public sector customers achieve tough environmental targets, especially for the reduction of harmful greenhouse gases, is a key priority for Buying Solutions Energy.

The need to conserve energy and protect the environment underscores all our policies and practices. These fundamental principles have to be satisfied when evaluating competitive tenders for products and services, and both customers and suppliers are strongly encouraged to develop awareness of these issues in their activities at all times.

More and more organisations are looking to buy energy from renewable sources. The Energy team has put in place arrangements to allow easier and more cost effective ways of doing this.

Our environmental objectives are to:

  • Reduce the levels of both direct and indirect pollution associated with our activities
  • Establish sustainable development as a clear feature of our decision making
  • Encourage the use of greener technologies and services in the public sector
  • Seek continual improvements in our environmental performance, through an Environmental Management System that includes the setting of relevant and measurable targets for this policy, with continuous monitoring and review of progress
