At AIS we believe that Corporate Responsibility should shape our thoughts and considerations towards the impact on the environment, both within our day to day office activities and on-site when we are undertaking refurbishment and fit-out projects.

We understand the importance of recycling and reusing products wherever possible plus the importance of reducing our consumption of all products, and have systems in place to encourage good practice. We believe we can play a major role in helping our clients move towards sustainability and will encourage good environmental practice through the design and implementation of fit-out and refurbishment projects we present.

The policy guidance notes must be read and understood by all directors, managers and supervisors.

Within this policy all employees and contractors are required to exercise personal responsibility and co-operate in preventing harm to themselves and others.

We will consult with the workforce to enable all viewpoints and recommendations to be discussed at regular intervals.

We regard all health and safety legislation as the minimum standard and expect management to achieve their managerial targets without compromising health and safety.

The Board will review this policy annually, including the associated organisation and arrangements, to ensure that it remains relevant and appropriate to our operations.
