Marwell Wildlife environmental Policy
- Conservation of biological diversity, environmental stewardship and corporate responsibility are central to the organisation’s mission and philosophy. Our holistic conservation policy is designed to improve performance and efficiency and to encourage responsible behaviour in staff, visitors, business partners and the communities with who we interact. We aim to maximise the positive impacts and benefits accruing from the organisation’s conservation activities and to reduce or mitigate negative impacts of all activities on the environment.
- This is achieved through the development and implementation of an Environmental Management System and by ensuring that environmental issues and conservation policies are taken into account in strategic planning and are included in all departmental plans and operations.
- Specifically, Marwell Wildlife will adopt the best practicable approaches to prevent pollution, to reduce or compensate for CO2 emissions, to ensure the efficient use of energy, water and other resources, to minimise waste and implement recycling, to manage its grounds and natural habitats in an ecologically sustainable manner consistent with Marwell’s role as a visitor attraction, and to evaluate and mitigate negative impacts of developments.
- Marwell Wildlife will endeavour to address its impacts in the wider world by adopting green procurement practises and preferring to work with suppliers and contractors that demonstrate similar social and environmental responsibility.
- In carrying out its mission, Marwell Wildlife will comply with all relevant legislation and standards, and adhere to recognised guidelines for best conservation practise.
- The organisation’s conservation and environmental performance will be evaluated on a regular basis and improved through the setting of objectives and targets. Implementation is a collective undertaking of all staff, which will be monitored and evaluated under my direction.
