Vistamatic Carbon Footprint Policy Statement.
It is the stated policy of Vistamatic Ltd to reduce its environmental impact, where practicable. Carbon reducing measures form an integral part of the overall Company strategy, helping to improve both operational performance and a reduction in potentially harmful emissions to land, water and air.
The company’s ultimate aim is for a 0% carbon balance to be achieved within the next 5 years where practical.
To assist in the achievement of this goal the company will;
Comply with all current energy legislation, seeking to meet or better legislative targets.
Minimise waste, promote recycling and the use of recycled products to help reduce the burden on landfill and therefore methane generation.
Continue to promote and design energy efficient and therefore carbon reducing systems and equipment on behalf of clients.
Promote environmental awareness and responsibility amongst employees and others and will seek, where practicable to continually improve Company environmental performance.
Activate and promote “video conferencing” as a means of reducing travelling.
Evaluate the potential benefits of home-working.
Evaluate the potential benefits of carbon off-setting e.g. tree planting.
Actions developed to date include;
• Integration of environmental issues into all aspects of the decision making processes.
• Sustainable sourcing Purchasing Policy.
• Installation of energy efficient, and therefore carbon reducing equipment
• Promotion of the Department for Transport’s “Smarter Driving Tips” initiative
• Vehicle sharing policy.
• The assessment and procurement of fuel efficient vehicles, supported by scheduled deliveries.
This Carbon Footprint Policy Statement underpins the existing Environmental, Procurement & Waste Management Policy.
This policy clearly identifies the responsibilities and procedures for achieving the Company’s stated objectives in all aspects of its activities leading to improved environmental performance, including reductions in both CO2, and methane emissions.
