Environmental Policy

Capacitas seeks to provide the best performance and capacity management services possible to our customers and to achieve this we mainly utilise information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure. In using ICT we strive to achieve the least environmental impact as possible, for example often using communications systems as a substitute for travel or paper based communication.

Recognising that we inevitably impact the environment in a number of ways we are committed to minimising the potentially harmful effects of such activity wherever and whenever possible. The Capacitas Environmental Policy statement provides the foundation on which our environmental policy is based.

The Chief Executive Officer of Capacitas has ultimate responsibility for the company's environmental policy and performance, reporting directly to the Directors and Members, but the importance of reducing environmental impact is recognised as a duty of all Capacitas staff.

Specifically Capacitas will:

• Meet all relevant legislative and other requirements, and where appropriate exceed or supplement these by setting our own higher standards
• Seek to reduce consumption of materials in our operations, reuse whenever possible, and promote recycling and the use of recycled materials
• Manage energy wisely in all operations, ensuring use of low energy usage equipment where possible and powering off unused equipment
• Purchasing pre-used equipment where possible to reduce the environmental impact
• Utilise telecommunication systems wherever possible to reduce unnecessary travel emissions
• Encourage the implementation by all Capacitas staff of sound environmental practices
• Monitor and publish details of our environmental impact in our annual report
