Jacobs Massey Ltd is committed to conducting our business in a manner that is professional, ethical and pays due attention to our wider responsibilities. We understand the importance of sustainability, and of our corporate social responsibility to our wider community. We always aim to provide our clients with innovative sustainable solutions for their events, and to promote the lowest impact options.
We take sustainable development as a guiding principle: meeting the needs of the present without compromising the future.
We aim to reduce the impact on the environment from our operations and our supply chain. Following these key principles will enable us to achieve this aim:
- Ensure our services are undertaken and developed in a way that is sustainable by minimising waste throughout all our activities
- Make efficient use of materials, equipment, energy, and other resources to ensure long-term sustainability.
- Reduce total waste produced by minimising consumption, using resources productively, by appropriate reuse, repair, and proper recycling, expanding the use of refurbished or recycled, products and materials.
- Reduce the impact of staff and visitor travel by promoting sustainable transport use and working with suppliers to maximise the sustainability of our transport activities.
- Identify and provide appropriate training, advice and information for staff and encourage them to develop new ideas and initiatives.
Commitment
This Sustainability Policy is a public statement of our commitment towards lowering the environmental impact of our activities, and the services we provide. We realise this cannot be achieved effectively without the full co‑operation of our staff, freelancers, clients, and other business partners. Such co‑operation is required from all JacobsMassey personnel and requested from all those with whom we interact.
