With the increasing public awareness of the impact air
quality has on the end user and wider community, Capita Symonds’
Air Quality team is working alongside our clients to help them
attain the social, environmental and economic benefits that good
air quality can deliver, such as improved employee productivity,
better public health, avoidance of loss of public amenity and
ensuring compliance with air quality legislation and
policy.
Capita Symonds’ are committed to remaining at the cutting edge
of the air quality agenda and have an extensive knowledge of the
latest technologies and legislation. This ensures that we fully
understand the effect these changes will have on our clients, now

with the latest laws and procedures.

UK and internationally ensures that we appreciate the requirements

be achieved.
