Our principles of
sustainable good business.
Since the industrial revolution, human activity has caused the planet to warm by 1°C. Already, climate change is impacting weather patterns, the availability of food and water, and sea levels. Humankind is using resources at a level which could only be maintained by the equivalent of 1.6 earths.
The prosperity of communities depends on our common efforts to tackle climate change and shift towards a circular society.
UKOS are determined to be part of the solution.
BE REGENERATIVE
Aim beyond sustainability towards
regeneration: restore, improve and leave
the planet & population better off for their
existence, not just less harmed.
START ON THE INSIDE
Whilst communicating to stakeholders,
we will manage our own impact -
environmental, ethical and economic.
IT’S A JOURNEY
Sustainability is a journey and even little
changes will add up over time. The key is
to track and measure our efforts and build
the business case for doing them.
THINK SYMBIOTICALLY
Achieve efficiency in our use of resources,
and collaborate with the right partners
who can unlock creative ways of turning
waste into a new resource.
THINK LONG TERM
Accept that in implementing sustainability
goals, the business may not see a payback
or demonstrate results for a long time.
BRING THE WHOLE BUSINESS ALONG
Engage with our employees and
encourage them to participate and
contribute towards sustainability goals will
help attract, motivate and retain talent to
influence decisions.
