Calor views sustainable development as a process of improving quality of life, today and in the future – for everyone.

The goals of this process are:

• Living within environmental limits
• Ensuring a strong, healthy and just society
• Achieving a sustainable economy
• Using sound science responsibly
• Promoting good governance

To reach these goals, we must acknowledge the complex relationship between the natural environment, people, communities, technology and financial systems.

Sustainability is part of our company vision, outlined in our Quality Statement:
We recognise our responsibilities to society and the environment, and we are committed to making a positive contribution to the communities in which we do business.

We also recognise, however, that in addition to the importance of a sustainable approach in its own right, that such a commitment makes business sense:

• It protects and enhances Calor’s reputation
• It helps Calor to attract, retain and motivate employees
• It assists innovation, creativity and learning
• It helps to manage risk
• It is essential in maintaining and improving public trust in Calor

We recognise that while Calor has achieved a great deal in working towards these goals, we can do more. We are therefore committed to continual improvement and the involvement of our employees, customers and other stakeholders in achieving this.

Above all, we welcome feedback. If you have any questions or suggestions regarding our approach to sustainability contact us on 01926 318634 or at sustainability@calor.co.uk.
