Quality Assurance Policy PDFAt Morphum, we recognise the opportunities artificial intelligence offers to enhance how we work and the outcomes we deliver. We also recognise that AI has an environmental footprint, including energy and water use, greenhouse gas emissions, and resource impacts associated with the infrastructure that supports it.
As an environmental consultancy, we believe these impacts should shape how we consider the responsible use of AI. At the same time, the technology is developing rapidly and methods for understanding and quantifying its environmental impacts are still evolving.
As our use of AI grows, we are committed to an informed, proportionate approach: building our understanding of its environmental impacts, weighing them against the benefits AI can provide, and evolving as better evidence, data, and practices emerge.
Human expertise and social responsibility will remain central to our approach.
We will use AI to support our people and improve how we work, not to replace human knowledge, judgement or roles. Experts will review and validate all AI-assisted outputs provided to clients, confirming that accountability remains firmly with people.
