environmental policy statement

We understand we have an impact on the environment in a number of ways and aim to minimise any potential harmful effects which our business may cause. We are committed to continuous improvements in our environmental performance and the ability to reduce pollution.

We will, therefore, as a minimum:

Meet and where appropriate, exceed the requirements of legislation and codes of practice.

Continue to develop and operate environmentally sound waste management procedures to reduce the amount of material sent to landfill sites.

Continue to recycle materials wherever possible and promote the use of recycling, particularly with materials such as paper, newspapers, magazines, toner cartridges and aluminium cans.

We re-cycle all of our vegetable oil into a scheme with one of our food suppliers who then convert this waste oil into bio-diesel for its fleet.

Promote a purchasing policy with suppliers which will give preference to those products which have been recycled and which will cause least harm to the environment.

We actively source and promote the use of local suppliers, we use fresh and sustainably sourced food products whenever possible.

Reduce the amount of energy we consume by continuing to use energy saving measures and by following recognised guidelines and codes of practice in our property management.

All of our meeting space lights are on movement sensors – no people – no wasted light!

Pursue efficient water management by influencing water usage, monitoring consumption and promoting water conservation.

All of our toilet facilities are fitted with water saving devices.

Increase the awareness of environmental responsibilities among staff and ensure they have the knowledge and resources to minimise the environmental impact of their work.

We will implement these policies through a co-ordinated environmental management system which will monitor our progress and publish a performance report on an annual basis.

We use plain pencils rather than branded pens and re-cycle them into local schools.

We have been awarded the highest GOLD level by Quality in Birmingham relating specifically to our environmental practices and policies.

The Studio Directors and Staff are committed to implementing this policy.
