About us

Sustainability

Sustainability exists to meet the needs of current generations without compromising those of future generations, whilst retaining a balance between economic growth, the environment and social well-being.

Clearway is committed to caring for the environment and the reduction in our direct and indirect impact upon it. We ensure that all our activities are carried out in line with the relevant environmental legislation and expectations of the wider community.

We seek to:

Minimise waste arisings;

Promote recycling;
Reduce energy consumption;
Reduce harmful emissions;
Promote efficient use of transport in all activities where possible;
Work with suppliers who themselves have sound environmental policies and encourage high standards throughout the supply chain;
Continuously improve through the development and sharing of best practices

Our technology is developed with both our own and our clients’ carbon footprint in mind. Alongside the wider security industry, Clearway continues to take full advantage of technological advancements to develop more sustainable products, from steel screens and concrete barriers that offer durable and robust protection, minimising the need for replacement or repair and reducing waste, to technology powered by renewable energy sources such as cameras and alarm solutions, solar powered CCTV towers and air quality monitoring.

Here are a few examples of our low-carbon solutions:

Our inView CCTV and technology towers not only use solar-power, they reduce visits to site to change batteries, allow remote diagnostics and fixes which all reduces the carbon associated with engineering visits for maintenance purposes.
360-degree video inspections allow clients to manage their property portfolio from their desk to reduce cost and unnecessary travel.
Digital locks reduce travel to manage keys, provide access and mitigates risk of unnecessary travel due to repeat attendance following aborted visits due to access issues
Our clean and clear services use concentrated chemicals diluted at site to reduce packaging and supplier deliveries whilst we also redeploy goods through charity partners where feasible to reduce waste to landfill and enhance social value.

Our ISO 14001:2015 accreditation supports our environmental management processes which range from lower carbon production, efficient water usage, and waste and chemical management, to operating greener office environments. Our processes also include auditing suppliers regularly to understand and support their sustainability commitments so that together we are continuously improving.

We follow the Reduce, Reuse, Recycle approach to actively reduce the adverse impacts of our activities on the natural environment. As such, we actively encourage paperless offices, choose energy-reducing systems, and employ recycling systems in our journey toward energy conservation, consumption reduction, and environmental protection. We segregate waste in office locations to enhance recycling, have removed single use plastic cups for staff use (water coolers etc.) and use recycled paper for printing. We also operate a fleet of vehicles with a rolling upgrade strategy designed to meet efficiency targets and reduce emissions, this includes the use of electric vehicles and the associated charging infrastructure, where feasible.

Clearway Group are a CO2e assessed organisation.

Carbon Footprint Ltd and The Clearway Group share a common responsible goal to track and reduce carbon emissions ‘at source’ as much as possible and to compensate for unavoidable emissions – via carbon offsetting – to render our activities to be net zero carbon/carbon neutral.

Carbon Footprint Ltd are dedicated to guiding organisations on their journey towards achieving Net Zero, offering a comprehensive six-step approach to seamlessly reduce emissions and pave the way for a sustainable future. Please visit their website for more information.
