As a well-established company, we understand that our employees, customers and the wider community expect us to conduct business in a thoroughly responsible, transparent and ethical manner. In order to achieve this here at Workspace Interiors we focus on three key areas: Workplace, Community and Environment.

Workplace

• We encourage individual responsibility. We are in constant communication with our employees who are encouraged to take additional training and learn more about sustainability and how they for themselves can contribute.
• Our main goal is to achieve a business model which is sustainable. We have started to implement more agile working practises in an effort to reduce resources being used and are encouraging a green workplace.
• Every project we work on complies with the highest Health & Safety Standards. We use a Specialist External Health & Safety company to help us ensure that we are always complying with all standards.
• As part of our ongoing commitment to reduce our carbon footprint we have commenced transition to electric vehicles and our goal is to convert over half of our fleet to electric by the end of 2021.

Community

• We are committed to supporting local businesses whenever possible.
• We invest and support our staff. Our employees, as well as sub-contractors are at the heart of our business.
• We are committed to continuous staff development and encourage our staff to attend regular training sessions on subjects such as sustainability, innovation and Health and Wellbeing in the workplace.

Environment

• Our aim is to use less resources and energy more efficiently with the the end user in mind. We are as efficient as possible throughout our projects. The brief and designs are approved before the work starts. This allows us to work efficiently, keep waste to a minimum and allow us to keep on top of our environmental responsibilities.
• We take great pride in the high standard of work we do. Wherever possible we ensure to use ethically sourced products and we have a preferred list of suppliers who share our high standards. We make every effort to produce as little waste as possible and therefore to minimise our environmental footprint.

Workspace Interiors are committed to providing a quality service in a manner that ensures a safe and healthy workplace for its employees and minimises the potential impact on the environment. It will operate in compliance with all relevant environmental legislation and will strive to use pollution prevention and environmental best practices in all it does.

This Environmental Policy Statement and the responsibilities and arrangements that support it will be reviewed at least annually or more frequently where there have been significant changes to the company or the nature of the company’s activities.

• Employ systems and procedures that ensure compliance obligations are met relating to the environment.
