Ogilvie Construction Ltd is committed to:

• Encouraging clients to use renewable energy and sustainable solutions where appropriate in projects
• Regular development, education and training of employees, suppliers and other stakeholders in sustainable practices such as using ‘energy saving mode’ on all equipment; switching off appliances when they are not in use; recycling wherever possible
• Communication of strategies through the use of posters throughout offices and sites; toolbox talks and seminars to ensure energy awareness amongst all employees at all times
• Utilising, where viable, materials and products from sustainable sources
• Adopting waste minimisation techniques and good house keeping practices to ensure the most efficient use of non-sustainable resources.

The Directors will monitor Ogilvie Construction Ltd’s progress annually.
