ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORT SCHEME
We've started a new scheme to reduce the number of staff driving cars to and from work. Everyone who walks, uses train/bus/motorbike or carpools to and from work 3 or more days per week goes in the draw to win a pair of movie tickets every month. |

We report on Environmental targets in our yearly Statement of Intent and Annual Report.
We are currently having an audit done on several of our facility's energy use. |
