Environmental Policy
Washington Design Consultants Limited is a graphic design and marketing consultancy established in 1999. Washington design consultants provide a range of creative collateral and services to a number of national and welsh based organisations both in the public and private sector. As part of our commitment to our Environmental Policy we have sought and achieved Green Dragon accreditation.
We believe that businesses are responsible for achieving good environmental practice and operating in a sustainable manner. We are therefore committed to reducing our environmental impact and continually improving our environmental performance as an integral and fundamental part of our business strategy and operating methods.
As part of our operational procedures in the design and production of graphic communication collateral we will ensure that environmental conciderations will be at the centre of our processes. We are commited to the prevention of pollution.
It is our priority to encourage our customers, suppliers and all business associates to do the same. Not only is this sound commercial sense for all; it is also a matter of delivering on our duty of care towards future generations.
Our policy is to;
Wholly support and comply with the requirements of current environmental legislation and codes of practice.
Minimise our waste and then reuse or recycle as much of it as possible.
Minimise energy and water usage in our buildings, vehicles and processes in order to conserve supplies, and minimise our consumption of natural resources, especially where they are non-renewable.
Operate and maintain our company vehicle with due regard to environmental issues as far as reasonably practical and encourage the use of alternative means of transport and car sharing as appropriate.
Apply the principles of continuous improvement in respect of air, water, noise and light pollution from our premises and reduce any impacts from our operations on the environment and local community.
As far as possible purchase products and services that do the least damage to the environment and encourage others to do the same.
Assess the environmental impact of any new processes or products we intend to introduce in advance.
Ensure that all employees understand our environmental policy and confirm to the high standards it required.
Address complaints about any breach of our Environmental Policy promptly and to the satisfaction of all concerned.
Update, our Environmental Policy annually in consultation with staff, associates and customers.
