We are committed to saving our planet, the only one we have, and we believe that everyone must have a strong personal commitment to be part of the solution, because protecting the environment starts with the individual. We commit to comply with, and exceed where practicable, all applicable legislation, regulation and codes of practice. We put sustainability at the very heart of our business as guided by the following principles:
H - Healthy, Responsible and Sustainable Sourcing - We choose local partners and support businesses that practice environmental sustainability.
E - Environmental Impact (Energy, Water Food, Air and Waste) - We will employ management systems and procedures designed to minimize the use of hazardous materials, energy and natural resources, to minimize the generation of waste and to enable recycling and resume of materials.
A - Active Engagement, Benchmarking, Certification - We will continually seek to improve our environmental performance by establishing objectives and targets, measuring progress, identifying risks and opportunities and measuring our competitiveness through benchmarking and certification. We have partnered with EarthCheck, the world’s leading Benchmarking and Certification provider as we are committed to continual improvement measured by way of annual Benchmarking Assessments.
R - Reform, Reduce, Recycle, Repurpose - We will start by reforming our mindset so that we can provide a circular economy.
T - Transform through Teaching, Training, Technology - We will promote participation and communicate our commitment by promoting sustainability among our employees, by providing the necessary training and support to enable them to implement this policy; by informing suppliers of our sustainability policy and encouraging them to adopt effective sustainability management practices; and by soliciting input from our employees, suppliers, customers, and board members in meeting sustainability goals.
