Our Sustainability and Environmental Goals

OceanWise > Our Sustainability and Environmental Goals
Our Sustainability and Environmental Goals

Sustainability is defined as the development that meets the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. Sustainability therefore is an issue for everyone, no matter of the size or scale of a business. In line with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals we recognise the interdependence between growth and the environment and believe that without a healthy and sustainable environment we will not be able to drive a healthy economy. We value and respect our environment so therefore have set goals which we hope will support the natural resources on which we all depend.

What we are setting out to achieve:
  • By 2025 we will reduce our carbon footprint:
    • by reducing energy usage, changing to hybrid vehicles, offsetting our carbon from vehicle usage and air travel, using renewable energy wherever possible.
  • Incorporate environmental thinking into all our projects, business plans and actions:
    • by initiating environmental assessments across our project work and throughout marketing activities (such as events and travel).
  • Reduce our consumption of resources and waste:
    • by increasing recycling, reducing the amount of waste that we produce, re-using equipment and instruments where possible, encouraging renewable energy use and storing stationery centrally rather than individually on each desk, encouraging regular maintenance to improve instrument longevity.
What have we done so far / will do (during 2022/2023)?
  • Our energy is now supplied from 100% renewable sources
  • We now work with Project Seagrass and already donated money from recent customer feedback surveys. We look forward to arranging our next annual clean up day alongside them
  • We conducted another local litter picking day for staff
  • Further increases to our internal recycling policy. We now recycle post bags and toiletries
  • Conduct environmental impact assessments on projects
  • Promoting good housekeeping in the office to reduce energy usage (I.E turning lights / heating off, using correct recycling, implemented remote sockets)
  • Implemented a plan for creating our own internal carbon footprint calculator which will then be used on all projects
  • Conducted annual environmental audits
  • Purchasing high quality eco-friendly re-manufactured printer cartridges from suppliers who offer and provide environmentally sustainable practices
Previous Initiatives:
  • Reviewed our energy supplier – increase the amount of electricity from renewable energy sources
  • Initiate an annual local “clean up” (litter picking) day to support our local community
  • Reviewed our office milk supply
  • Regularly servicing equipment to improve longevity of equipment
  • Changed over the first of our company cars to a plug-in hybrid
  • Conducted annual environmental audits
  • OceanWise and the Great British beach clean
  • Purchasing high quality eco-friendly re-manufactured printer cartridges from suppliers who offer and provide environmentally sustainable practices

We have also worked with Harwich Haven Authority in implementing an Environmental Monitoring System and we also work with various Ports on Air Quality.
