Sustainability

Considerations of sustainability and our corporate social responsibility not only influence our professional services; they are fundamental to our values and our actions.

We work across teams and offices to ensure our offices are water and energy efficient and work to reduce our waste to landfill. In our new Grosvenor Gardens office we are piloting office worm fams and working with the contractors to reuse and recycle as much as possible in the office fitout.

We work closely with and support our communities through fundraising initiatives and hand on support such as links with schools, volunteer projects and mentoring.

Read our Sustainability and Responsible Business Policy.

Capita Symonds was also a Platinum Sponsor at the Think 08 sustainability event.

In addition to our actions as a company, we also incorporate sustainability into our service delivery including:

• The specification and design of buildings and structures
• The choice of construction materials, including considerations of whole life costing
• Energy, water and waste efficiency during construction and operation
• Location options and supporting studies covering siting and access
• Environmental impact assessment and sustainability appraisal
• Policy advice and research studies
• Cost management and long-term project monitoring

We have carried out several sustainability appraisals of plans and programmes, for local authorities and for sponsors of major development initiatives. As well as being familiar with Government guidelines on sustainability appraisal, we have developed our own models for screening individual developments and proposals at an early stage to ensure that considerations of sustainability are built in from the outset.
