Sustainability Policy

We are committed to promoting sustainability within the construction industry. Concern for the environment and promoting a broader sustainability agenda are integral to our business activities and the management of the organisation.

We aim to follow and to promote good sustainability practice, to reduce the environmental impacts of all our activities and to help our clients and partners to do the same.

Principles
Our Sustainability Policy is based upon the following principles:

• To comply with, and exceed where practicable, all applicable legislation, regulations and codes of practice.
• To integrate sustainability considerations into all our business decisions.
• To ensure that all staff are fully aware of our Sustainability Policy and are committed to implementing and improving it.
• To minimise the impact on sustainability of all customer support, supply chain and distribution activities.
• To make customers and suppliers aware of our Sustainability Policy, and encourage them to adopt sound sustainable management practices.
• To review, annually report, and to continually strive to improve our sustainability performance.

Practical steps
In order to put these principles into practice we will:

Customer Support

• Provide customers with telephone and online ordering options supported by expert industry and product knowledge, enabling fast and accurate purchasing of a wide range of Industrial Products and Equipment, without the need to travel to our location.

Supply Chain and Distribution

• Ensure our supply chain has responsible social and environmental practices, where possible.
• Assess our customers’ delivery requirements and ensure that loads, routes and transportation methods are chosen to meet customer‘s requirements, minimise distance travelled, reducing onward transportation by delivering to site and providing flexible pick-up options.

Travel and meetings

• Avoid physically travelling to meetings etc where alternatives are available and practical, such as using teleconferencing, video conferencing or web cams, and efficient timing of meetings to avoid multiple trips. These options are also often more time efficient, while not sacrificing the benefits of regular contact with clients and partners.

Purchase of equipment and consumption of resources

• As far as possible arrange for the reuse or recycling of office waste, including paper, computer supplies and redundant equipment.
• Reduce the energy consumption of office equipment by purchasing energy efficient equipment and good housekeeping.

Working practices and advice to clients

• Ensure that all Lenpart staff take account of sustainability issues in their advice to clients.
• Include a copy of our Sustainability Policy in all our proposals to clients.
