SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT...
Our Sustainablity Policy is based on the following principles:
To comply with, and exceed where practicable, all applicable legislation, regulations and codes of practice.
To ensure that all staff are fully aware of our
Policy and are committed to implementing
and improving it.
To integrate sustainability considerations into all of our business decisions.
To minimise the impact on sustainability of all our office, production and transportation activities.
To make clients and suppliers aware of our Sustainability Policy, and to encourage them to adopt sound sustainable management policies.
In order to put these principles into practice we will:
TRANSPORT
Dispose of petrol fuelled vehicles and replace them with diesel fuelled vehicles, with the lowest CO2 emissions.
Reduce the need for travel by utilising available technology to enable electronic file transfers.
Encourage clients to accept PDF proofs to reduce the need for travel and resource useage.
If personal interface is necessary on a particular project on a regular basis we will where appropriate provide a web cam.
Reduce the need four our staff to travel by supporting alternative working arrangements including homeworking etc. We will encourgage staff to use public transport where possible.
Office consumption
of resources.
Minimise the use of paper and other office consumables, for example by doubling siding
all paper used and identifying opportunities to reduce waste.
As far as possible arrange for the reuse or recycling of office waste, including paper, computer supplies and redundant equipment.
Reduce the energy consumption of office equipment by purchasing energy efficient and good housekeeping.
Purchase electricity from a supplier committed
to renewable energy.
Ensure all timber products are recycled or from well managed, sustainable sources and are

Use recycled papers and products
whenever possible.
Purchase fair-trade and/or organic beverages.
Ensure computer equipment is set to go to standby after a short period of time, and where practical, is shut off overnight.
Install thermostats for heating and cooling systems where possible.
Production

Use vegetable oil based printing inks
Minimise electrical consumption by planning efficient workflow patterns.
Ensure all chemicals are disposed of in accordance with current legislation.
