We are committed to sustainable development (meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs) as a guiding principle within our work. Concern for the environment is an integral and fundamental part of this commitment. Our aim is to reduce the impact on the environment from our operations. In the course of our business we will always chose to:
Recycle
We seek to minimise the generation of waste by encouraging recycling and selecting recycled or recyclable products and materials when possible for use in our facilities and products.
Conserve
We work to reduce our use of energy by turning off lights and equipment throughout our office after hours and promote water conservation by equipping our office with efficient water fixtures.
Reduce
We use electronic methods to distribute software and documentation to reduce our consumption of material resources. Also, we employ online communication tools to limit the number of road and air miles we create.
Our Commitment
Meet or exceed all applicable environmental laws and regulations.
Identify and measure the environmental impacts of our operations and products.
Establish annual targets to reduce our environmental impact and strive for continuous improvement.
Integrate environmental impact as a factor in business decisions.
Encourage suppliers, vendors, and business partners to be environmentally responsible.
Communicate this policy and our environmental programs to employees and other stakeholders.
