Environmental Policy

At Acies we are justly proud of our part in enhancing the built environment, but we are also aware of the impact our professional work has on the natural environment.

Acies operates an Environmental Management System accredited to ISO 14001:2004.

It is our policy to work closely with our clients and take all reasonable steps to minimise impact on the environment while improving the environmental performance of projects we are involved in.

This is our policy:

  • Specify materials with a low environmental impact, and avoid use of hazardous materials
  • Consider energy efficiency and waste management
  • Look to ensure flexibility of use in buildings
  • Use green travel plan arrangements where possible
  • Positively encourage the recycling of materials where appropriate
  • Specify sustainable building materials
  • Positively encourage our people to consider and become well informed about environmental implications

Our policy in action
We have recently been involved in the new-build of a primary school using sustainable materials and building methods on reclaimed land – St Mary of the Angels RC Primary School, Ellesmere Port.

As part of The UK Logistics Fund team, a joint venture between Hermes Real Estate and Legal & General, we have developed specifications that ensure the use of sustainable building materials and the delivery of various renewable energy solutions on large manufacturing and distribution warehouses throughout the UK.  The completed developments also benefit from the highest levels of Energy Performance certification and BREEAM Accreditation.
