Environmental Policy

Our vision and principles
 
Venton Ltd is dedicated to creating a positive, environmental and social impact on its staff, clients and the local community, with the aim of becoming a sustainable and efficient workplace.
 
With that in mind, this Environmental Policy outlines the company’s vision, values and goals regarding Venton Ltd and how its role fits into the greater global climate context, with the intention of lessening its impact on both the immediate and wider natural environment.
 
By following this policy and its future goals, Venton Ltd aims to ensure that environmental concerns become a vital element of business decisions and how it builds as a company moving forward.
 
By implementing this policy, we aim to:

  • Minimise our impact on the local and greater environment through our personal practices within the office
  • Ensure we are working with responsible suppliers
  • Limit travel where unnecessary and minimise toxic emissions through the selection and use of power
  • Encourage sustainability within staff culture
  • Embrace the environment as a core element of our business
  • Meet or exceed all the environmental legislation that relates to our company
 
Related regulations and standards:

  • B Corps
  • ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management Systems
 
Our commitment and scope
 
As a growing business within the heart of Cornwall, we are increasingly aware of how our beautiful countryside and coastlines are being affected by climate change.
 
We feel, as a company with a growing office and client-base, we must be mindful of how our growth impacts the immediate environment – from air pollution to fuel consumption and how we manage waste.
 
In order to achieve this, our scope covers the following:

  • The entire staff of Venton Ltd, including employees, directors and contractors
  • All company locations
  • Others, like suppliers, which may be impacted by association and contractual terms
 
With the above in mind, we have outlined steps that are already being taken to minimise our overall environmental impact:

  • Processes are established to minimise, as far as is practical and possible, our carbon footprint
  • Recycled materials are used where practical and possible for all stationary regarding client communication or marketing
  • Purchases for and made on behalf of the company are ethically and environmentally sound
  • An Environmental Management System has been established and maintained in alignment with ISO14001:2015
  • We are committed to certificating to the B Corps Standards and maintaining that compliance through regular reviews and audits
  • We are committed to certificating to ISO14001:2015 and maintaining that compliance through regular reviews and audits
  • Where practical and possible, communication of information is made electronically via email and through our website to reduce our use of paper and non-recycled materials
  • Employees are entitled and encouraged to take advantage of the Cycle To Work Scheme to reduce our impact on the road
  • Our office has been built using air source heat pumps and utilises a sustainable heat recovery system, allowing for a maintained air temperature and better air quality
  • The building has been fitted with upgraded levels of insulation to manage the escape of heat
  • LED lighting has been implemented throughout the building
  • Smart metering is used to continually monitor fuel usage
 
Future goals
 
While we are already striving to minimise our environmental impact, we are also aware that there is more to be done and this will be achieved by regularly reviewing this policy and researching where changes can be made.
 
Currently, future plans include:

  • Fitting the building with solar panels to minimise traditional fuel usage
  • Installing an electric car charging point for both staff and client use
 
Reviewing this policy
 
As options become more viable to our business, we will maintain our commitment to becoming as sustainable as possible and review our policy on the minimum of an annual basis.
 
This will allow for future plans to be implemented and ensure we continue to meet and exceed the goals of this policy.
 
To further this commitment, the current controls and measures are now in place:

  • Environmental Management Process
  • Asset Management Process
  • Board Terms of Reference
  • Procurement Policy
  • Green Travel Policy
  • Travel Expenses Policy
  • B Corps Assessment Process
  • ISO 14001 Assessment Process
