| We
have always endeavoured to take all our many responsibilities seriously.
Not only do we have to consider our colleagues, customers, clients
and members of the general public, but also we are aware of our duties
to the world itself. To this end we continually assess whether the
way we work can be improved to lessen our impact on the climate while
maintaining the levels of service our clients deserve. We currently
have various initiatives in place, including: |
| |
| |
|
we
have introduced extensive services to provide remote assistance to
clients, reducing the need for travel to site |
|
| |
|
all
equipment we supply is compliant with the RoHS directive which controls
the reduction of hazardous materials used within electrical and electronic
equipment |
|
| |
|
all
the equipment we supply is also compliant with the WEEE directive
which governs the disposal and recycling of electronic and electrical
equipment |
|
| |
|
we
have contracted with local contractors for seperate collections of
general and recyclable waste to ensure that as much waste as possible
is recycled |
|
| |
|
our
accounts office use the BACS system of payments where possible for
the receipt and payments of monies elctronically and have embraced
HMRC's on-line declaration procedures for submission of the various
returns required of us |
|
| |
|
paper is recycled for
internal use
|
|
| |
|
cardboard and other protective
packaging is re-used when equipment is sent to third parties, often
the same packaging can be used many times
|
|
| |
|
staff
are encouraged to conduct as many communications as possible by e-mail,
so reducing the production of paper output |
|
| |
|
where
available all consumables used within the business are made from recycled
materials |
|
| |
|
it
is Company policy that all electrical equipment that is not in use
is turned off and computers are turned off overnight in otder to reduce
energy useage |
|
| |
|
Company vehicles
are selected with the CO2 credentials being the most significant factor,
this is the gauge of carbon dioxide produced per kilometer driven
and so goes some way to reflect the impact of each journey |
|
| |
| The list above
is not exhaustive but illustrates some of the ways in which we attempt
to reduce our impact on the environment. Of course many of these measures
will have the added benefit of reducing costs which helps us toward
economic as well as ethical benefits. |
