SENSEI understands the need to have a robust Environmental & Sustainability Policy and for it to clearly demonstrate SENSEI’s commitment to green issues and a reduction in the wider environmental impact of our operations, in all that SENSEI, our Suppliers and Clients do, setting out business improvements that can be measured, monitored, reported upon in order to track performance.  

Whilst we also understand there is no legal requirement or standard structure for an environmental policy, we believe this policy is the best way of SENSEI demonstrating the following objectives and clear measurable targets:

• A clear intent to comply with the vast range of environmental legislation which may affect SENSEI, our employees, clients, suppliers and local communities.

• Ensuring SENSEI remains within environmental legislation.

• Defining environmental roles and responsibilities.

• Reducing materials and energy wastage.

• Providing a good quality framework to ensure we reduce our environmental impact and mitigate incidents that could result in a liability.

• Promote sustainability and environmental awareness throughout SENSEI, to all employees, suppliers, and clients. 

Our key Environment Policy objectives and measurable targets  are :

• Complying with all applicable environmental legislation and sustainability commitments
