want to lead the way in carbon reduction programs: taking our staff, clients and supply chain along
that journey is essential to doing this”

• a sustainable approach to procurement, constantly taking in to account their
environmental, social and economic effects
• Constantly providing value added services that help to control MITIE’s total costs

with low energy air filters. MITIE is a world class organisation that is serious about carbon
reduction and sustainability right through their supply chain. We are delighted to have been
