Environmental Policy

We respect the environment.

At The Outdoor Education Company we are proud outdoorsy types and care about our world and environment. We are committed to ensuring we protect it for generations to come.

We aim to minimise our use of fossil fuels, keep waste to a minimum and promote good environmental and sustainability practices by:

• Using the best route to a venue and endeavour to help reduce congestion where practical. We will maintain our vehicles, service them regularly and minimise vehicle use where possible.

• Reduce the creation of waste destined for landfill by buying quality products and minimising our use of low quality/single use items, repairing products wherever practical and by reusing, finding alternative jobs/uses or by upcycling any products no longer suited to their original purpose.

• Responsibly dispose of any waste

• Leave our working area clear of any litter, regardless of whether it is our own, as a result of us being on a site or even there before we arrived.

• Promoting good environmental practices to all our staff and customers and particularly the children we work with.

• Investing in equipment made as locally to us as possible

• Acting as positive role-models for participants and encouraging care and respect for the environment
