    Environmental Initiatives

    DENTON has adopted and implemented a ‘good practice’ policy for environmental standards. Our environmental standards are measurable, monitored and recorded. The good practice procedures we have implemented result from significant investment and training in ISO 14001, RICS SKA, Net Zero, and postgraduate ESG training courses.

    We have been ISO 14001 accredited for over 10 years, and we have recently reviewed and updated our policy to align it with our practice.

    Background
    Commitment to best practice
    The board Directors have recently completed the Institute of Directors Certificate in Corporate Governance. DENTON takes company governance seriously and is aware that adherence to good practise works in the best interest of the company and stakeholders.
    Corporate structure
    DENTON is a privately owned limited liability company. The shareholders of the company are the Board of Directors and Senior Management. We believe this approach works well for our business model; those who own shares in the company have a personal stake in the company’s success.
    Diversity
    We practise inclusive diversity of race, gender, disability, and sexuality. We are proud of this and celebrate our diverse company profile. When recruiting, information relating to race, disability, gender & sexuality is redacted from CVs before candidates are invited to the interview process.
    Committed to fairness
    We are committed to creating a fair and inclusive workplace for our employees and business partners. We have policies to protect against unlawful discrimination and harassment, and our open-door policy encourages honest and direct communication to resolve concerns. We encourage anonymous reporting of suspected unlawful or unethical behaviour or fraud. We have implemented informal one-on-one meetings or 'check-ins’, which allows colleagues to raise concerns or ask for support.
    Transparency
    For the past 26 years, a central belief of DENTON has been to operate as a professionally oriented, open, and honest business. This approach has worked well, as we have built many long-term relationships founded on trust. These values will continue to play a central role in future activities, with ambitious standards of Corporate Governance, and a transparent approach to operations.
