Environmental Impact
As a company conscious of our environmental obligations and as a responsible business, we understand the importance of acknowledging and managing our environmental impacts. We recognise that we are on a journey and are committed to reducing our negative environmental impacts across our offices, promoting greater responsibility in our work practices and project work, and continually improving our overall environmental performance. It is a collective effort, and we also encourage and promote greater awareness of environmental issues amongst our clients, suppliers, stakeholders, and wider community.
At Wavehill we are committed to incorporating environmental considerations into our business decisions and our work practices. This is an integral part of our business strategy and operating method. In keeping with our research and evaluation work, we monitor our performance against independent benchmarks set and look for continual improvement against these.
