Environmental Responsibility
CS Catering Equipment realise that when it comes to the environment, it is essential for everybody to reduce their effect by looking at all possible approaches.
We acknowledge that CS Catering Equipment have an accountable impact on the environment and as such we work to reduce this wherever possible.
As such we have set out our environmental policy, with our key aims being:
- to comply with all relevant environment legislation and industry codes of practice.
- to reduce environmental impact and prevent pollution in the formulation of our products and the operation of our importing and distributing processes.
- to set objectives and targets to drive continual improvement plans and regularly review environmental performance to ensure that we are succeeding.
As a key part of our environmental policy we practice the principles of the 3 'R's.
Reduce, Re-use and Recycle
Some methods we use to achieve this goal are we:
- buy recycled goods wherever possible. We also try to use 100% re-cycled goods when possible.
- seek to purchase fair traded and environmentally sound goods, in particular the sourcing of refreshments for staff meetings and training. We also endeavour to purchase goods from local suppliers to reduce food miles.
- promote the use of cycling and walking as the means of travel to work as well as local meetings and also encourage the use of public transport
- seek to minimize the use of energy in our activities. For example, lights and computers will be switched on only when needed and not out of routine.
- recycle all office paper and all cardboard packaging materials by segregating it and sending to a local recycler.
- provide all members of staff with their own porcelain cup to prevent the use of plastic/paper cups being wasted.
Groundwork
To display our commitment to this policy CS Catering Equipment has achieved the Groundwork National Certificate at Gold Merit level.
