GIFT (Green Initiatives For Tomorrow)
Liverpool Mutual Homes believe that we have a responsibility to care for and protect the environment in which we operate. We are fully committed to continually improving our environmental performance across all of our business activities, complying with relevant legislation and regulations, the prevention of pollution and will encourage our business partners and members of the wider community to join us in this effort.
Liverpool Mutual Homes recognises our key impacts to be in the areas of:
-
Energy efficiency
- Waste generation
- Emissions to air/water
- Water use
- Transport
- Procurement
We will strive to:
- Adopt the highest environmental standards in all areas of operation, meeting and exceeding all relevant legislative requirements.
- Assess our organisational activities and identify areas where we can minimise impacts.
- Minimise waste through careful and efficient use of all materials and energy.
- Purchase sustainable products wherever feasible [e.g. recycled, FSC or low environmental impact products and energy from renewable sources].
- Publicise our environmental position internally and externally to the public and our tenants.
- Train employees in good environmental practice and encourage employee involvement in environmental action.
- Reduce risks from environmental, health or safety hazards for employees and others in the vicinity of our operations.
- Adopt an environmentally sound transport strategy.
- Aim to include environmental and ethical considerations in investment decisions where appropriate.
- Assist in developing solutions to environmental problems.
- Continually assess the environmental impact of all our operations.
Liverpool Mutual Homes have developed a series of action plans to supplement each of our environmental policy objectives. We will also periodically review performance and publish these results.
We will also be sharing advice, hints and tips on energy saving methods that we could all take part in at work and at home. You can find some here:
