Capita and the Environment
From Lauraibm
Summary
What the Vendor says about itself
As provider of key services to the public, we are committed to managing our business in a responsible manner and making a positive contribution to the wider community.
At Capita, we have identified the issues that most concern our business and the communities we serve. We are continuously improving the way we address and manage these issues.

We recognise that improving our environmental performance is important for all our stakeholders, from our employees to current and prospective customers. We aim to minimise harmful effects whenever we can and will work to secure business benefit from environmental protection through a continuous improvement programme.
While many of our operations have only limited impacts, due to the service nature of our business, improving our environmental performance can also help us to uncover savings and reduce our operating costs. Issues such as climate change also carry considerable potential risk and Capita will only benefit from a holistic response to this challenge.
Environmental management
Environment is managed through the Group Safety, Health and Environmental team, reporting into a Group Board Director and committee of the Group Board. There is a full time resource managing the function, supported by a network of Safety Health & Environment site representatives.
Our structure
Our business operates from 250 sites in the UK, Ireland, Channel Islands and India. Many of these sites are not owned or managed by Capita, and we have limited control over them. Where we do manage the buildings we aim to adopt best practice in areas such as waste management, resources, energy use, transport and building design (in the case of a new build).
