We are constantly driving our environmental initiatives forward to protect the health of our planet. We work closely with our clients, suppliers and customers to look for ways to reduce waste.
We launched a new environmental initiative – Green Force – in 2019 to drive sustainability on a more visible level throughout the LRS business, with a particular focus on what individual team members can do within their client sites. Green Force empowers team members in taking practical action to improve clients’ environmental footprints. Initiatives include:
We are accredited with the Environmental Management System ISO14001, which ensures we monitor our impact on the environment and apply initiatives to reduce any adverse effects.
We work alongside industry bodies such as WRAP and Food Alert who assist us to ensure our systems are safe, robust and workable.
We have a team of Environmental Champions who are responsible for driving forward Lexington’s bespoke Environmental Management Systems (EMS).
They have inspired and engaged our team, clients and customers about environmental management and making positive change to reduce their impact on the environment. As a result we have reduced food waste, electricity and water consumption and seen a huge increase in recycling.
Last year, twelve of the Lexington Reception Services team volunteered to plant some trees with Trees for Cities, to mark International Day of Forests.
At Horsenden Farm the team planted 350 whips to help extend the hedgerows and create a valuable new habitat for wildlife in London. They also laid new woodchip on the Gruffalo trail to encourage more people to use the walkway.
