Sustainable waste management is embedded within our system, with a commitment to minimising waste generation and achieving less than 5% waste to landfill.
For asbestos-related activities, hazardous waste and PPE are managed through strict containment, labelling and disposal procedures using licensed carriers, protecting both environmental integrity and public health.
We actively invest in professional skills development through our Enhanced Training Academy (ETA), which addresses recognised skills shortages across construction, fire safety, asbestos and environmental consultancy. The programme includes leading to recognised qualifications delivered to UKAS-accredited standards.
Riverside is committed to supporting education and early careers engagement within the environmental consultancy sectors. The company provides opportunities for graduates, apprentices and trainees through structured on the job training, mentoring and supervision by experienced professionals.
We recognise the importance of decarbonisation and the transition to Net Zero and are committed to reducing the environmental impact of all operations. This is achieved through efficient planning of site visits to minimise travel, use of modern low emission vehicles, increased use of digital reporting to reduce paper consumption and responsible waste management.
Transparency and compliance are central to how we operate. We work in accordance with all relevant legislation, guidance and recognised standards, including UKAS accreditation and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.
Our processes, reporting and recommendations are clear, auditable and evidence based, giving clients confidence that their legal duties are being met.
We are committed to maintaining an ethical supply chain by working only with competent, reputable suppliers who share our values around integrity, safety and quality. All suppliers are appropriately vetted, with a strong preference for accredited organisations and with a preference to local SMEs.
