Sustainability at Ward Goodman
At Ward Goodman, we aim to have a positive impact on the planet by continuing to be more sustainable as a company. Being a forward thinking company, we believe the environment is important and worth looking after for our customers, our business and our planet.
There are many ways we ensure that we are playing our part when it comes to sustainability:
Energy
- We ensure using a hot water Urn in the kitchens instead of constant boiling of kettles.
- We have implemented the use of LED lighting across our workplace.
- We have opted out of non eco friendly systems such as air conditioning units which is a big contributor to global warming.
- We provide electric car ports.
Paper
- We work together with our team to have heightened awareness of their paper usage, therefore creating a culture of responsible paper consumption.
- We have actively reduced our paper consumption by embracing digital documentation where possible.
- The majority of our communication internally between staff as well as externally with our clients is electronic.
Water
- We have cold water urns available to stop the constant running of taps.
- We encourage our employees to adopt smart water habits such as using reusable water bottles.
Packaging & Supplies
- We encourage the use of reusable bottles and cups to minimise wastage of items such as paper cups.
- All of our paper and cardboard are recycled using separate bins throughout our offices.
- We buy supplies in bulk to help reduce waste of packaging and transport emissions.
Getting to work
- We have a cycle to work scheme in place and will be introducing an Electric car scheme.
- We also have a working from home policy, to also reduce transportation emissions.
At Ward Goodman, we actively promote sustainability in our workplace and engage an entire organisation to get onboard with “green thinking”. We believe a healthy and sustainable workplace can also directly lead to a happier team, which in turn increases greater wellbeing throughout and a more positive experience for those we work with either client, strategic partner or stakeholder.
