OUR COMMITMENT TO CLIMATE CHANGE

---

Encouraging purchase of hybrid/ electric company vehicles, promoting car sharing and offering flexible working for those who walk, cycle or use public transport to work. Allowing staff to travel by train to important meetings and events and reclaim costs. Using couriers to minimise our own transport commitments and route planning to cut down on unnecessary journeys from our fleet.

Buying recycled carboard boxes, and re-using boxes and packing materials as often as possible and supplying products in re-useable plastic cases/bins which are returned into circulation after use to cut down on unnecessary plastic waste. Having dedicated waste collections bins for recyclables such as card, cans, plastics. 

Improving our purchasing and selling to organisations with similar environmental commitments such as ISO14001 or internally documented policies with commitment to government initiatives, and seeking to develop new relationships with companies whose businesses specialise in sustainable and environmental projects. 

Heating only essential parts of the warehouse and offices, installing energy efficient lighting and switching off all un-used electronic devices, conserving water and using eco-printers and consumables. 

Train, educate and inform our employees about environmental and sustainability issues, especially those which may affect their work and promote them to work in a responsible manner. Sharing our goals with customers, suppliers and the local community.

We have joined the SME Climate Hub with a view to publicly sharing our commitment to Climate Change.

Our targets and on-going results will be published annually.
