Emissions Reduction

  • LED and low energy lights should be used wherever possible.
  • Battery systems and mains power should be used in preference to generators.
  • Where generators are used, they should be right sized for the anticipated load.
  • Generators, genie booms and other powered equipment should be battery powered if possible, hybrid powered if battery is not available, and internal combustion only if the other options are not available.
  • Diesel engines should use renewable fuel such as HVO in preference to diesel fuel.         
  • Deliveries and collections of materials and equipment should be optimised to minimise journeys and reduce fuel use/emissions.
  • Vehicle journeys should be planned to ensure fuel use/emissions are minimised.
  • Where different vehicles can be used for a particular purpose, please choose the vehicle with the lowest consumption and emissions.
  • Equipment should be switched off and unplugged when not in use.
  • Observe the no idling policy.

Circular Economy

  • Source materials and equipment which have the lowest environmental impact.
  • Place waste packaging and materials in the appropriate waste stream.

Carbon Calculator

  • Assist the Sustainability Advisor to obtain environmental information from suppliers.
  • Facilitate the collection of data on energy use, fuel use, materials use and transport for the carbon calculator.
