Environmental Policy
As a company we acknowledge our corporate environmental responsibilities and are committed to reducing the effect our business activities have on the environment.
In order to ensure continuous improvement we regularly measure our impact on the environment and set targets for ongoing improvement. We ensure we adhere to relevant legislation in territories where we operate and undertake to promote our environmental policy to staff, suppliers and customers.
Carbon Neutral
In 2008 we became the first TV wall mount manufacturer in the world to become carbon neutral, and are committed to maintaining this accreditation. Achieving carbon neutral status is an ongoing three step process:
- Assess our existing carbon footprint
- Reduce our energy use through best practices and new initiatives
- Offset our remaining footprint through a variety of schemes including producing clean renewable energy
By continually assessing and reducing our carbon footprint we are able to maintain a benchmark to which we compare our performance. In 2008 we achieved a 5% reduction in CO2 emissions across all business activities compared with 2007, and we will be striving for further annual improvements.
Reduce Energy Consumption
We aim to reduce energy consumption through:
- » Reducing and consolidating product shipping where possible
- » Eliminating non-essential business travel
- » The introduction of energy-saving technology in all company offices and buildings
Products and Suppliers
When designing, manufacturing or purchasing goods and services, we aim to:
- » Use ethically sourced materials and products
- » Create recyclable products and packaging
- » Encourage suppliers to adopt similar environmentally-friendly practices
Recycling
We recognise the scarcity of resources and the need to maximise the use of, and responsible disposal of waste materials in a sustainable manner. To this end we strive to:
- » Promote the practice of ‘reduce, re-use and recycle’ amongst staff and suppliers
- » Maximise recycling in all offices and distribution centers operated by our company
- » Recycle damaged products and spare parts that are returned to us
