Environmental Policy
1. The purpose of this document is to set out the company’s policy in respect of environmental issues. 2. Outline. It is the stated policy of Turnwright Limited that, as far as is practically possible, the company’s activities do not impact in an adverse way on the environment. 3. The policy is achieved by a combination of activities within the company and should be seen as a benefit to the company operation and not as an inconvenience. The premise for this is set out below. a. Environmental damage has a cost which will impact on the company trading. b. This impact can be minimised by sensible measures which will save both the local environment and cost to the company. c. Wherever possible the company will trade with suppliers who minimise their own impact on the environment. d. Recycling of materials can reduce input costs and save output costs. If these are passed on to the end user financial, as well as environmental, benefits accrue. 4. The foregoing must be taken into consideration when balancing the effect of company trading. All other things being equal the company will choose the path of least environmental impact.
Examples of current practice.
1. The company installed a paper shredder for office documents this is now used to shred all unwanted papers as well as incoming envelopes and junk mail. This product is then used to pack outgoing goods. 2. Input cardboard boxes are re used as far as possible. Boxes that cannot be used again are sent for recycling. 3. Jiffy Bags and bubble wrap are also re used as a matter of course. The above measures reduce carriage charges to our customers by approximately 3.00 per consignment. 4. Waste oil from hydraulic units is collected and sent for recycling. (It is used in waste oil heater units). 5. Scrap metals are recycled through the local scrap metal system 6. All computers, fax machines, printers & photocopiers within the company are set on power saving modes where it is fitted. All future purchases will require this providing it does not detract from the specified function of the machine. Fluorescent lighting is used in place of conventional bulbs. Long life bulbs are used where strip lights cannot be sited. 7. Bio-degradable chemicals are chosen whenever possible. 8. We are actively working with GREENMARK to achieve level 2 environmental certification. The above list is not comprehensive or exhaustive but is a guide to our commitment.
