Thinking Green

OUR POLICY

Portsdown was founded in the historic city of Portsmouth, which is one of the most densely populated areas in Europe. Being based in this environment, Portsdown have always been aware of the impact their operations have on the city. Portsdown are therefore committed to maintaining, and wherever possible, improving, the quality of this environment, both for the people who work for Portsdown and for the wider community. This commitment is reflected in policies which seek to make the most effective and efficient use of all resources, encouraging all employees to develop an ecologically sound and sustainable approach to their work and lifestyle.

POLICY OBJECTIVES

• To adopt, wherever practicable, methods of living and working which reduce the impact on the earth’s biophysical systems, mindful of the potentially disastrous results for us all if the resilience of these systems is exceeded.

• To make all employees aware of the environment impacts relating to much of what they do in their daily lives, thus providing a continuing education in the environment.

• To co-operate, where possible, with the wider community, in order to implement environmental policies from the local community through to the global level.
