All companies have an impact on the environment, whether directly themselves, or indirectly through their supply chain. These environmental impacts carry hidden or “external” costs with them. Through our products we aim to change the behaviour of organisations by providing them with the tools to measure and manage the impact their organisations have on the environment.

As an organisation we at Trucost plc must take responsibility for the impact our organisation has on the environment.

Our policy is to measure, manage and minimise the impact that operating our organisation has on the environment. Using the Trucost Methodology we aim to minimise the external environmental costs, both direct and indirect, of operating Trucost plc.

In practical terms this means we will:


1) Use the Trucost Environmental System to identify and measure the impacts that our business has on the environment.
2) Set realistic targets for reducing these impacts and monitor our progress.
3) Make all employees aware of their responsibility to consider the environment throughout our operations and when choosing suppliers. In particular to ensure employees are aware of their responsibility to use energy and natural resources efficiently, minimise waste and recycle whenever possible and appropriate.

The allocations of duties for environmental matters are set out in Trucost's Environmental Policy. You can download this in Adobe Acrobat format (.pdf) by clicking here.
