As a company we take environmental responsibility very seriously and place it at the heart of everything we do.
We strive to use environmentally friendly materials and to use production methods which have minimum impact on the environment. We favour external suppliers who can demonstrate their environmental responsibility. Our in-house stationery is printed on recycled material and, where possible, we use recycled paper products in the day-to-day running of the office. We recycle all the paper, card, plastics, bottles and batteries we use with Emerge Recycling. All printer toner cartridges are recycled by Lasertech. All redundant computer equipment is donated to Recycle IT for refurbishment before being supplied to individuals and community groups in the third world. We subscribe to a green energy tariff and regularly monitor the efficiency of all electrical appliances. We hold six monthly energy audits to examine existing processes and to look at new ways of reducing the impact that our business activities have on the environment.
MANCHESTER ENVIRONMENTAL BUSINESS PLEDGE
We are very proud that the measures we take to reduce our impact on the environment have been recognised with a Gold Award from Manchester Environmental Business Pledge. The Pledge is designed to recognise companies within Manchester that are greening-up their business processes and adopting more sustainable practices. The scheme is run by Manchester City Council in partnership with Groundwork, Mersey Basin Campaign, Encams and the Environment Agency
