Fighting climate change
Fighting climate change is an increasingly pressing issue that we are dedicated to support. We ensure our practices are always adhering to the principles and standards set out in ISO 14001 and The Environmental Act 2021. Sunrise is committed to conducting its business in a manner that ensures a safe and healthy workplace for its employees and minimises its potential impact on the environment. We comply with all relevant and applicable environmental legislation and other requirements, and where practicable, minimise any adverse environmental impacts that may result from its operations.
In implementing this policy, we aim to:
Consider the direct environmental impacts of our operations, including offices, staff travel, and the procurement of materials and services.
Work with our clients and the supply chain to identify and mitigate the environmental impacts associated with our services and projects.
Reduce waste through re-use and recycling and by purchasing recycled, recyclable or refurbished products and materials where these alternatives are available, economical and suitable.
Where possible, prevent pollution from delivery of our services and projects.
Monitor, measure and communicate the environmental performance of our activities in order to drive continual improvement in areas of significant risk and opportunity.
Strive to continually improve our environmental performance and minimise the social impact and damage of activities by periodically reviewing our environmental policy in light of our current and planned future activities.
We're passionate about embracing sustainability, and our commitment to the environment is crystal clear: we're on a mission to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030. How are we going to make it happen?

We train our staff internally which helps us create a skilled workforce. This means even if someone does not have the necessary skills previously, they gain those skills working for us. This helps remove barriers to entry for people getting into employment.
We ensure our employees contracts all fulfil the criteria to be classed as “good work” which means we provide our employees with: Fair pay; Progression; Autonomy.
This helps our workforce feel valued and makes us a desirable employer for people looking for employment in this field.Equal opportunity
