Initial Interiors: Environmental Policy Statement

In unison, we can construct a more sustainable future for London, one office at a time.

At Initial Interiors, we are dedicated to conducting our enterprise in a manner that reduces our environmental impact and promotes sustainability.

Eco Friendly Implementation

We acknowledge the importance of safeguarding the environment for future generations and believe that responsible business practices go hand-in-hand with delivering exceptional office refurbishment services to our clients in London.

Our Pledge: We are committed to sustainable principles

Diminishing our environmental footprint: We will continuously endeavour to reduce our environmental impact throughout our operations. This encompasses minimising waste generation, conserving resources like energy and water, and prioritising the utilisation of sustainable materials.

Promoting the Circular Economy: We will embrace the principles of the Circular Economy by seeking opportunities to extend the life cycle of existing materials through refurbishment and reuse. We will also prioritise sourcing materials from sustainable supply chains with responsible environmental practices.

Enhancing Energy Efficiency: We will actively pursue ways to improve energy efficiency in our operations, from low-emission vehicles, implementing energy-saving practices in our offices and procedures, and choosing suppliers who adopt sustainable practices.

Responsible Waste Management: We will implement a comprehensive waste management plan that prioritises waste reduction, recycling, and responsible disposal. We will plan logistics of the shortest travel route and use local companies where possible.

Employee Education and Engagement: We will educate and engage our employees and contractors on environmental issues and encourage them to adopt sustainable practices in their daily work.

We will achieve our environmental commitments by:

• Conducting life cycle assessments of materials to identify the most eco-friendly options for each project.
• Collaborating with clients to design and deliver office spaces that prioritise energy efficiency, resource conservation, and the utilisation of sustainable materials (in line with the architect plans we are working to in hand)
• Partnering with suppliers who share our commitment to sustainability.
• Setting clear targets for waste reduction and resource consumption.
• Communicating awareness with employees and sub contractors to ensure a company culture that considers environmental responsibility seriously.

Communication and Transparency

We will communicate our environmental policy to all stakeholders, including employees, clients, suppliers, and the wider community. We will also report on our environmental performance regularly, highlighting our progress and areas for improvement.
