At DS 22, we believe in environmental and social responsibility, that everyone should play a fundamental part of it. David has worked on achieving ISO14001 Environmental Standard certification for apartment and commercial developments in Dublin, for OMC's and PRS scheme clients. His expertise in this area is extensive and DS 22 encourages all OMC Board of Directors to embrace and obtain the ISO 14001 Environmental Management standard for their development/business park/ block.

We all have our obligation to protect our environment and natural resources as well as embracing corporate responsibility. The benefit is not just saving our planet and its resources, but helping to create a healthier living and quality of life for all. Furthermore, it also makes economic sense, as detailed in several professional expert reports including the RICS 2009 Sustainability and Commercial Property Valuation Paper and RICS 2013 Sustainable Construction: Realising the opportunities for built environment professional report.

Our key objectives:
- Enhance the wellbeing of residents, tenants, office and factory workers within the development.
- Promoting and encouraging development users/occupants to cycle, enjoy outdoor areas, recreational facilities, etc.
- Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR): Responsibility towards the planet and future generation.
- Economic reasons: Safe energy, reduce waste water, recycling = Reduction in cost of managing a development.
