We are committed to minimising the environmental impact of our business activities and first developed our environmental programme in 2002.
As part of our programme of continuous improvement, our comprehensive environmental programme has been accredited with the internationally recognised 14001:2004 - Environmental Management System (EMS), as well as winning a number of prestigious industry awards.
In addition to providing clients with a range of environmental options, our environmental programme also promotes internal environmental best practice. Key areas include:
Recycling- Our network of 31 ServiceCentres currently recycle the majority of office waste including paper, can, cups, printer cartridges and IT equipment.
- This has reduced waste going to landfill by 50%.
- We aim to source sustainable supplies and uses recycled paper throughout our ServiceCentres and for printing of literature where possible.
Energy Saving - We have implemented a 'Switch Off' campaign which ensures equipment is switched off when not being used
- We display Carbon Trust Energy Saving posters in each of our 31 ServiceCentres which identify steps that can be taken within an office environment to significantly reduce energy wastage.
- We are currently switching to 'green' energy suppliers with a potential saving of over 300 tonnes of CO2 emissions.
- We have deployed new, highly energy efficient, computers to our control room staff. These units use 10% of the energy used by a normal PC
Email- We recognise that communicating via email is environmentally friendly and significantly reduces consumption of paper, ink and energy.
- In 2009, we launched our PDF invoicing facility. Since the launch 60% of our clients have signed up for the service which means that they receive all of their invoices and statements in PDF format via email.
- We also use email to keep clients updated with our latest news and initiatives.
Website- CitySprint OnLine is our web based job booking, tracking and reporting system. The system enables our clients to apply for an account, book jobs, track packages, view electronic signatures as proof of delivery, view and download comprehensive activity reports and download literature and brochures in a PDF format, thus reducing consumption of paper, ink and energy.
