Environment
Briggs & Forrester is fully committed to the protection and enhancement of the environment. We are aware of the implications of our operations and endeavour to promote, wherever possible, conservation and use of sustainable resources.
While complying with all environmental legislation and requirements, it is our aim to strive for improvement in our environmental impact through our activities, products and services.
Areas where this has been most successful include the reduction of harmful chlorofluorocarbons in refrigeration plant, energy usage across our own company and customers’ premises and the recycling of waste from our sites and offices. In particular we are working to encourage our supply chain in the recycling and segregation of waste, to minimise the amount of waste produced and saving on raw materials and disposal costs.
In 2009 we will be assessed by BSI for ISO 14001 accreditation.
Low Carbon
We strive where possible to minimise the impact our operations have on the Environment. One example is by minimising our carbon footprint by reviewing our working systems, strategies and processes.
We will continue to develop policies to support our commitment to improvement of the environment and encourage all our employees to be more aware and pro-active in their working practices.

BREEAM
Briggs & Forrester encompass the BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) philosophy. On all design and construct projects we meet both internally and externally with the client to determine the level of BREEAM certification required. Subsequently, we meet with BREEAM assessors throughout the project to demonstrate our understanding and commitment to BREEAM initiatives.
