Our Environmental Policy
Protecting Milton Keynes’ natural environment, one project at a time.
Protecting Our Local Environment
We’ve called Milton Keynes home for over 30 years, so protecting our local environment isn’t just good business – it’s personal. From the wildflower meadows we create to the wildlife habitats we maintain, every decision we make considers the impact on our community’s natural spaces.
