This policy confirms our commitment to continuous improvement in managing environmental issues including the proper management and monitoring of waste, the reduction of pollution and emissions, compliance with environmental legislation and environmental codes of practice, training for all of our staff and the monitoring of environmental performance.
We work in close partnership with our suppliers to ensure that we are at the forefront of any advances in waste management control and will constantly seek the advice of those with greater experience in this field.
Legislation and codes of practice will be viewed as our minimum requirement and we will strive to become an example for others to follow.
We are also mindful of our impact on the environment by the use of raw materials used in the production of goods and, to that end, we will monitor the product specifications of all goods to ensure that, where possible, we are sourcing the most environmentally friendly products available. We will also promote the use of these products to existing and new customers.
Our main paper supplier is committed to the use of timber from sustainable (managed) forests.
We also ensure that any packaging materials that can be recycled will be separated from general waste products and disposed of accordingly. This will also include any items of food and drink packaging used by our employees.
