policy
At
The Old School we are all committed to conducting our businesses
and working practices in a way that minimises the environmental
impact of our activities.
Some
of the actions we have taken to reduce our impact are:
• All staff are trained
in environmental procedures.
• We are efficient in our use of energy.
• We monitor waste and recycle appropriately.
• We use eco-friendly products.
• We trade, wherever possible, locally.
• When sourcing products from outside the UK,
we seek to use Fair Trade.
• We contribute to the support of wildlife.
By encouraging
sustainable practices we try to ensure the continued enjoyment
of the environment around us for future generations.

At
The Old School we maintain a wildlife habitat by:
• Offering sanctuary
to hedgehogs.
• Feeding and offering homes to birds. We
have various nesting boxes and feeding
stations.
• Encouraging and monitoring the visits of
red squirrels.
• Allowing insects to develop naturally, by
not
using insecticides or chemicals.
• Encouraging snails as additional food for
birds.
• Allowing the growth of natural flora and
keeping
our gardens and grounds in
a natural way. |
We
use Enjo cleaning cloths - an environmentally friendly
cleaning system. Bathrooms, kitchen, glass, surfaces and floors
all have dedicated cloths which work like magic - and make
cleaning far
easier. Visit www.enjo.co.uk
