Other Sustainability / Environmental Issues Sample Clauses

Other Sustainability / Environmental Issues. The Environment Agency expects its suppliers to operate their sites in a sustainable and safe manner. A programme of regular health and safety / sustainability / environmental audits will be developed with the Contractor which will involve visits to a range of the Contractor’s and their subcontractors' sites. The results of these audits will be shared with the Contractor, and where the Environment Agency has made recommendations for improvements, we will work with the Contractor to implement these. The Environment Agency would like to work with the Contractor to investigate the possibility of trialling sustainable bio-diesel in plant. Over the duration of the Agreement the Environment Agency intends to seek evidence that the Contractor helps to make the communities in which it operates better places to live in and do business in (for example, by sourcing materials locally where possible) and that employees are encouraged to become involved in achieving this goal. In time, we would like to see evidence that the Contractor actively encourages others such as suppliers, customers and its employees to improve their own sustainability performance and that there is clear evidence of management commitment to sustainability. Question (29) Please detail how your company takes responsibility for the environmental impact of its activities, including use of energy, natural resources and waste in a manner that ensures the long term sustainability of your organisation.
