SUSTAINABILITY & ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY – 2026

GREEN FUTURE & SUSTAINABILITY

POL 1004 2026 V2

 

1. Leadership and Responsibility

Dave Meadows, Managing Director has overall and final responsibility for the Company’s environmental sustainability. He is responsible for ensuring this policy is implemented, maintained, and integrated into the Company’s business strategy and operations.

All employees are expected to recognise that environmental responsibility is shared across the organisation. Everyone must consider the environmental implications of their actions and omissions, take reasonable care in fulfilling their environmental responsibilities, and support the achievement of the Company’s environmental objectives.

It is the responsibility of every individual working at Pushed to deliver sustainable solutions, identify and report best practice and concerns, and comply with all applicable legal, regulatory, and other environmental obligations.

2. Environmental Commitment

Pushed is committed to operating in an environmentally responsible and socially sustainable manner. We recognise our responsibility to contribute to the UK’s transition to a low‑carbon economy and to minimise the environmental impact of our activities, products, and services.

Creating a high‑performance team that operates in a fully inclusive environment, one that enables everyone to act courageously, collaborate relentlessly, and innovate in the delivery of sustainable solutions, is a business essential.

3. Environmental Management System

It is the intention of Pushed Ltd to conduct its business in a manner that prevents pollution, minimises adverse environmental impacts, and supports sustainable development. We assess the environmental aspects and impacts of our activities and implement appropriate procedures, controls, and business practices to protect the environment.

Pushed operates an Environmental Management System (EMS) that is certified to ISO 14001. Our environmental policy, objectives, and operational controls are implemented and maintained in accordance with this standard to ensure effective environmental risk management, legal compliance, and continual improvement in environmental performance.

4. Objectives, Measurement, and Continual Improvement

We are committed to monitoring our energy consumption, business travel emissions, and waste annually, and to setting and reviewing reduction targets as part of our continual improvement programme.

Environmental objectives and targets are established, reviewed, and updated in line with business activities, legal requirements, and environmental risks and opportunities.

5. Operational Aims

This policy applies across all Company operations, and the key aims are to:

• Manage office facilities efficiently to reduce the consumption of resources, including electricity and water, reduce CO₂ emissions, and minimise waste. This includes ensuring lights and equipment are switched off when not in use.
• Work with employees to encourage the use of hybrid and electric vehicles and to reduce vehicle mileage for commuting and business travel through hybrid and remote working arrangements. Digital collaboration tools such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams support this approach.
• Commit to offering local employment opportunities where practicable.
• Identify, reduce, and optimise the reuse and recycling of waste, including mobile phones, IT equipment, paper, ink cartridges, and furniture. Equipment that is no longer required is reused, recycled, or disposed of responsibly.
• Investigate the purchase of re‑conditioned phones and laptops as an alternative to buying new equipment.
• Promote a paper‑light working culture by prioritising digital communication, reducing the number of printers, encouraging double‑sided printing where required, and using system prompts to raise awareness of environmental impacts.
• Reduce single‑use products, reuse items wherever possible, and encourage the use of products manufactured from recycled or sustainably sourced materials. Conventional cups, dishes, and cutlery will be provided.
• Embed sustainable thinking into decision‑making processes when considering investments, suppliers, and the procurement of products and services.
• Source materials responsibly and favour options with a lower environmental impact.
• Engage suppliers who demonstrate environmental responsibility and consider sustainability criteria in procurement decisions wherever reasonably practicable.
• Support small, local, and diverse‑owned businesses.
• Continue to contribute to charities and community organisations.
• Seek to offset carbon emissions by contributing to and working with local environmental initiatives and charities.
• Raise awareness of environmental sustainability across the workforce through ongoing communication and engagement.

6. Review and Governance

This policy is reviewed at least annually, or sooner if significant changes occur to the business, its activities, or relevant environmental legislation, to ensure it remains appropriate, effective, and aligned with the Environmental Management System.
