Environmental Statement

Age Well East acknowledges its responsibility to, and the commercial advantages of, maintaining a sound environment. We recognise the importance no matter how small of the impact of our activities on the environment and that there is a need to constantly consider ways in which we can conserve energy and minimise waste in all activities that we undertake. The environmental policy is defined by the Board of Trustees and Senior Management of the organisation and provides the framework for setting and reviewing environmental objectives and targets.

Waste Management

It is our policy to work with our staff and suppliers to ensure that all waste is disposed of in line with legal and environmental requirements.

Recycling and use of Recycling Materials

To utilise, and promote the use of, recycled materials whenever possible, ensuring that materials are disposed of in an environmentally safe manner at the end of their useful life.

Energy Conservation

To manage electricity, water and gas supplies to ensure minimum consumption through energy efficient initiatives. It is our policy to make efficient use of natural light within our building and to conserve energy by adopting an ‘only turn on when using’ approach to equipment. We also endeavour to screen suppliers to ensure that materials provided by third parties adhere to green credentials.
We also seek out opportunities where we can use our position in London to raise awareness of energy conservation to stakeholders.

Environmental Management Awareness

To raise and maintain a high level of understanding of, and participation in, environmental best practices by staff and suppliers. Age Well East is committed to and ensures the continual improvement and the prevention of pollution and will remain committed to this objective.

Legal requirements

We are committed to compliance with applicable legal and with other requirements to which Age Well East subscribes that relate to our impact on the environment and our environmental aspects.
