Official Website of Hadrian's Wall Country

Hadrian’s Wall Trust (HWT) is aware that we have a responsibility in the way we manage our work to protect and enhance the environment. We are committed to preserving the natural environment; to reducing or eliminating any negative impacts our actions may have; and to controlling and avoiding pollution.

HWT is a member of the Green Tourism Business Scheme and holds a Green Tourism Bronze Award for its commitment to the environment.

We will improve our environmental performance in company practice by:
 taking account of environmental and sustainability considerations in areas such as building energy management, waste minimisation and the purchase of consumables insofar as they are under our direct control
 applying policies on travel in ways which encourage both economic and environmental efficiency.

We will positively influence the environmental performance of commissions which we are engaged on by:
 encouraging our suppliers and those we employ to maintain high levels of environmental performance in the context of supplies we receive / work which they undertake for us
 ensuring that our staff are properly trained to carry out their statutory responsibilities and to influence environmental performance positively; and
 seeking (where we provide advice and recommendations) to integrate environmental and sustainability considerations and positive impacts into all commissions and business practices.
