Our approach to sustainability

Our sustainability policies include:

Adopting a “print less” approach by only printing documents where absolutely necessary and using online diaries that can be accessed via smartphones

Using products made from sustainable materials when print products are necessary, such as envelopes made from recycled paper

Making use of “e-signatures” on contractual documents to reduce paper usage

Introducing ‘For Sale’ and ‘Lettings’ signboards made from recycled materials; these boards can then be recycled again for future use

Encouraging staff to walk to viewings whenever properties are close to our offices

Supporting staff who prefer to cycle to their place of work through a qualifying cycle to work scheme

Reducing energy usage through the use of LED lightbulbs wherever possible and ensuring other electrical items are used responsibly by, for example, not leaving items permanently on charge and ensuring lights are turned off at the end of the day

Issuing every member of staff with a reusable water bottle to help us all cut down on single-use plastic bottles

Sending regular newsletters to customers and staff digitally rather than posting printed versions

Switching more of our fleet cars to electric or hybrid vehicles as they come up for contract renewal
