Environmental Awareness

Miletree are very aware of the impact its work can have on the environment.

Striving to manage projects in harmony with their immediate surroundings is the philosophy held by Steve Carruthers, Managing Director. From his roots in the wonderfully unspoilt country of New Zealand, Steve has an instinctive passion and commitment to ensure the impact he and his business have on the environment is kept to a minimum.

As such, Miletree has a 20 year history of caring for the environment that goes far beyond what is required by law.

Implementing and establishing sustainable forward thinking initiatives has been in place at Miletree long before the social awareness to protect the planet became widely publicised.

Recycling of office and on-site materials has long been standard practice and embedded in daily routines. This, coupled with the introduction of more fuel efficient vehicles with reduced carbon footprints, confidently shows Miletree's promise to perfect working practices that help towards environmental conservation.

This unique union of passion and environmental strategy is reflected in the pledge to follow and operate local council advice and initiatives and the ISO-14001 Environmental Management Systems framework.

Recognised as the most well known standard in environmental sustainability certifications, the framework applies to those environmental aspects over which an organisation has control and where it can be expected to have an influence.

Utilising this framework is a powerful reinforcement of Miletree's environmental credentials and commitment to environmental sustainability.
