Ethical and Environmental Policy
ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY 2010
Here at Eco Lit, we know that the earth is a precious resource that can’t be taken for granted. Our every day actions, both big and small, have an environmental impact and we must consider this in every decision that we take as a company. In doing so, we aim to run a carbon-balanced business. Here’s how we’ll do it:
NOW:
- We switch all our computers and electronic equipment off when not in use including our lights, rather than leaving them on stand-by for extended periods.
- Eco Lit products are shipped rather than flown to reduce environmental impact.
- We use minimal packaging, which is all recyclable.
- We offer a free recycling service on all our products at the end of their lives.
- 10% of carbon emissions made by company vehicles is off-set using the BWOC Forest Carbon offset scheme.
- We encourage our staff to walk, cycle and use public transport as preffered travel methods.
IN THE NEAR FUTURE:
- Our company vehicle will be an Environmentally Friendly Vehicle (EFV), a super-efficient hybrid suitable for long distance deliveries.
- All of our promotional material will be printed using non toxic inks and using fibres from sustainable forests and carry the FSC logo.
- All our offices and warehouse will be lit by Eco Lit LED products.
- We will monitor and minimise the amount of electricity we use using an energy monitoring system.
- All of our electricity will come from Ecotricity and will be 100% renewable from solar, water or wind-generated.
- Our office will be equipped with recycling facilities for all waste produced on site.
- We will shred all envelopes, waste paper and boxes, re-using it as stuffing/filler in our outgoing orders.
ETHICAL POLICY 2010
We are not only committed to the environment at Eco Lit, but to decency and honesty. We strive to make our business as ethically sound as we can. Here’s how:
- We only provide products and services giving good value and consistent quality, reliability and safety.
- We never knowingly do business with companies which; breach human rights, support the arms trade, harm the environment or jeopardise animal welfare.
- We support fair global trade while ensuring our supply chain has a minimal ecological impact.
- We use the most efficient and least impactful way to distribute our products that is available.
- We treat all employees with equal respect and dignity and provide them with equality of opportunity to develop themselves and their careers.
