Group Environment Policy Statement

Our key commitments

To address the environmental impacts associated with our business, we commit to the following principles:

• Reducing energy consumption: We will take active steps to reduce our energy usage and to source energy from renewable sources. For example: ensuring that windows are closed when the air conditioning is on, that lights in rooms not being used are switched off and all staff close down their PCs when leaving the office.
• Sustainable working practices: Where appropriate, we will utilise technology to minimise business travel, thereby reducing our carbon footprint. For example, our Sales Managers will arrange webinars and phone calls with clients and suppliers rather than travelling to meetings, where appropriate.
• Water conservation: We will seek to minimise water consumption in our offices through implementing efficient water management practices. For example: regular checks to ensure plumbing is in order and ensuring any leaks are quickly corrected.
• Waste reduction: We will incorporate economy principles into our operations, striving to minimise waste and increase recycling. For example, we have recycling collection bins throughout the office and have introduced food waste bins.

Implementation and governance

To meet our commitments, we will:

• Ensure robust governance of our environmental policies.
• Senior management will oversee the strategy and commitment for environmental management.
• We will integrate environmental best practices into our operations and continuously improve our performance to prevent pollution.
• We will maintain appropriate management systems, including documented policies and regular monitoring.
• We will comply with all applicable environmental laws and regulations.
• We will implement the latest technology to reduce our paper usage for our operations and through our portal development to enable clients and advisers to view relevant documents online.

Leverage our influence

• We will engage with key stakeholders including shareholders, customers, employees, suppliers and local communities to raise awareness and encourage environmentally responsible behaviours.
• We will assess and mitigate the indirect environmental impacts of our procurement decisions.

Be transparent about our impact

• We will regularly review our commitments to ensure meaningful and measurable progress towards sustainability.

This policy reflects Dentons Pensions’ commitment to sustainable business practices and our role in addressing environmental challenges.
