Following responsible business practice is central to our vision – it’s about everything that we do at work.
For example, we:

- Work closely with our customers to understand their hurdles to achieve innovative solutions
- Look after health, safety and wellbeing of our employees
Environment
The environment is important to both our business and personal futures and as a conscientious employer it is only right that we look to limit our impact on the environment.
The Company seeks to minimise waste arising, promote recycling, reduce energy consumption, reduce harmful emissions and where possible to work with suppliers who themselves have sound environmental policies.
An essential feature is our commitment to improving environmental performance. This will be achieved by setting annual environmental improvement targets which will be regularly monitored and reviewed in the management programme.
We believe that we have a role to play on positively creating a culture of environmental awareness and encouraging our customers to consider the environmental impact of their actions.
