We are committed to managing our environmental impact and reducing our greenhouse gas emissions and apply a range of initiatives through our environmental sustainability action plan.
Individual offices pursue a number of reduce, re-use and recycling initiatives relating to paper, toner cartridges, plastic, furniture, fixtures and fittings. Additionally, VWV delivers training and awareness initiatives to encourage behaviour changes throughout the firm.
In February 2020, VWV’s London office received the Platinum Clean City Award from the City of London, recognising our approach to responsible waste management.
VWV pursues a variety of initiatives in this area. These include:
Staff are encouraged to use the eco setting on equipment such as dishwashers and to ensure that they are completely full before they are used. Water leaks are prioritised and dealt with swiftly.

Environmental matters are an important factor in the firm's purchasing decisions. These include:
In addition, our London office has been working with Eden Caterers to run its meetings and seminars. As a result and as part of the company's commitment to conduct business in the most environmentally friendly way, Eden Caterers have planted multiple trees on our behalf.
