Our Sustainability Strategies
Recycling
We are conscientiously using recycling bins for both business waste and domestic-type waste, ensuring that even the smallest plastic milk carton finds its way into the correct bin.
Paperless Working
We are moving towards a paperless system and encourage all staff to diligently minimise printing. Since moving to a bespoke online system, we have reduced paper usage by approximately 70%.
Fuel Emissions
We encourage car sharing amongst employees, utilise an efficient Field Engineer travel management tool to reduce mileage and emissions and promote remote working where feasible.
Supplier Monitoring
We operate a scoring criteria for our suppliers which enables us to make informed and more environmentally friendly choices regarding our Parts and Consumables without compromising on quality or performance.
Energy & Water Consumption
We have a company-wide policy which sets out details as to how each employee can reduce water and energy consumption through such means as, but not limited to, utilising energy-saving modes on computers, switching off unnecessary lighting and sockets and using only the required amount of water in kettles.
WEEE Waste
Our ethical disposal route is compliant with WEEE regulations and minimises the amount sent to landfill.
