Freshwater Building Services, are committed to promoting environmental sustainability. Our aim is to provide positive change within our own offices as well as each of our sites through our greener operations and inherently sustainable products. This is because we believe that our team, partners and suppliers deserve to work productively while leading better-balanced, greener and more rewarding lives.

As part of our ongoing efforts to minimise our impact on the environment, we will be introducing a range of new measures to improve our sustainability and ensure any carbon emissions and other negative environmental impacts are reduced as much as possible.

Below are some examples of how we are working greener:

1. Concerted effort to identify and implement energy-saving measures both within our offices and our sites, including lighting upgrades to efficient LEDs and installing automatic lighting controls and where able to undertake works across our sites to a SKA Assessment Gold Rating, operating in line with the industry standards as set out by the Considerate Constructors Code. 
2. Investing in recycling stations that will be located within our offices, this will assist us to minimise the amount of waste going to landfill sites. Similarly, we ensure waste produced on our sites is separated and removed accordingly to promote recycling throughout thus reducing waste going to landfill and following a site waste management plan.
3. Investing in a new equipment within our offices, to reduce consumables that create unnecessary waste.
4. To achieve a 33% reduction in our electricity and gas cost per workstation compared with previous years, as we strive for a year-on-year energy and carbon reduction.

We believe all of us can play their part in achieving a greener more sustainable future.

“I have used Freshwater Building Services for the past 5 years for small building works, compliance related work and for refurbishment projects. I have always found their work ethic matches my own expectations of a suitable FM company, the process of tendering and works is seamless, the communication is excellent, the staff are all extremely professional and friendly which makes the process trouble free. I have also had reason in the past to call on them at short notice and have always had the same excellent service, even for issues outside of their scope they have always found a way to complete my requests. I would have no hesitation in recommending James and his team at Freshwater Building Services.”
