Enviromental Policy
Environmental Responsibility
As a property signage business and nationwide franchise network, we feel strongly about the importance of our responsibility to the environment and the impact of climate change. We are currently embarking on our journey to help achieve a greener future.
Our Carbon Footprint
We have been making changes and reducing emissions. Here’s how we’re tackling climate change so far…
- Signage is collected and recycled if no longer fit for purpose
- Head office staff now work remotely
- We’ve reduced our office-based footprint by some 60%
- We have moved to a cloud-based server
- We use a route planner to enable drivers to find the shortest route to save on emissions
- We’ve minimised carriage, sending items in bulk only
Recycling Signage Boards
We have an obligation to ensure our property boards are disposed of in an ethical and sustainable manner. With a high turnover of signage boards, we believe in upcycling posts and reusing branded boards wherever possible.
When it is not possible to upcycle, we use a professional recycling service called EA Recycling to ensure our boards are disposed of appropriately and that our signage doesn’t end up in landfill.
Polypropylene plastic is currently non-biodegradable and must not be disposed of via domestic or commercial waste. When notified by our agents we arrange board collection from the property so that we can dispose of signage on the agent’s behalf if quality isn’t up to our high standards.
Ethically Sourced Materials
Our corporate social responsibility ensures that we only source materials from ethical suppliers.
Timber for our posts from members of the Timber Trade Federation, a body who are committed to a responsible approach to timber sourcing.
Paint is water-based and non solvent-based and only purchased from companies who adhere to an environmental charter. All inks and toners used adhere to Nordic Swan Label (or similar) which ensures that printed matter (throughout its lifecycle) complies with the most stringent environmental requirements.
