Contribute to building a sustainable society, present and future.
o Ditching and if not possible, minimising, the use of single use plastic items.
o Using renewable energy suppliers for powering equipment and appliances.
o Ensuring all materials are recycled or reused.

Apply professional and responsible judgement and take a leadership role.
o Keeping up-to-date on sustainable development practices and encourage their implementation.
o Build sustainability into every day practice and management considerations.
o Lead by example, influencing others to improve their sustainability performance in the engineering supply chain.
Do more than just comply with legislation and codes: being prepared to challenge the status quo.
o Making a commitment to becoming a carbon neutral business.
o Re-invest a percentage of profits into re-forestation and carbon offset programmes.
o Source and buy energy efficient tools, IT equipment and appliances.
Use resources efficiently and effectively.
o Dispose of materials not commonly recycled at designated refuse sites.
o Install Smart energy meters to monitor and where possible, reduce, energy consumption.
o Use energy efficient light bulbs and lighting.
Seek multiple views to solve sustainability challenges.
o Research differing approaches to sustainability challenges from a variety of organisations.
o Consider the potential impacts for future generations.
o Research and contribute to carbon offset programmes to mitigate existing business carbon footprint.
Manage risk to minimise adverse impact and maximise benefit to people and the environment.
o Strive to ensure responsible and ethical sourcing of resources, tools and electrical equipment.
o Fires cause toxic smoke and gases, which when released can cause damage to people and the environment. Ideally, the fire safety risk assessment will prevent this from occurring.
o Undertake an energy use/carbon foot print audit and take steps to both reduce and offset any environmental impact.
