Prometheus in the Environment

Having delivered medical support services in some of the worlds most remote and isolated environments, we have experienced first hand the vulnerability and fragility of our natural environment.

Health in the hostile environment is our core business. We feel the same way about our climate - without careful management, the very planet we live on will become increasingly hazardous to us all.

As a company, we are thus committed to:

Trying not to use energy, whether this means not switching on a light, or avoiding flights abroad wherever possible
Using the lowest energy options - whether this means low energy light bulbs or, where practical, using a coach or train rather than a car, cycling to work, or vehicle sharing
Switching to a green energy provider
Buying locally where we can
Trying to select supply chains and partners with the same ethos of corporate social responsibility
Supporting others in reducing their use of fossil fuels and their production of greenhouse gases
Minimising waste and recycling as much of it as we can
