Fighting climate change
We take our impact on the environment extremely seriously. FarrPoint has operated an IS0 14001 accredited Environmental Management System since 2013; this ensures that our environmental impact is measured and minimised.
In 2022 FarrPoint has gone further, by developing a carbon reduction plan and committing the company to becoming Net-Zero by March 2023. This commitment includes FarrPoint providing calculations of the carbon cost of each of our projects which will be conveyed to the client along with how this is offset. - Covid-19 recovery

Covid-19 recovery
FarrPoint works extensively with health and care providers and so has seen the lasting impact of Covid-19 on citizens and public services.
In FarrPoint's own business activities, we continue to offer all staff the option to work flexibly, this allows us to maintain social distancing in our offices and reduces the need for our staff to use public transport.
We make best use of technology in our service delivery, completing projects and meetings remotely, where possible, this further reduces the need for staff to put themselves at higher infection risk and also offers environmental benefits. - Tackling economic inequality
