Environmental Policy

Awards Plus® is committed to continuously improving our environmental standards as a core part of how we do business, how we plan and how we execute the business plan.  Our commitment covers not just our manufacturing facilities but our immediate surroundings and the wider environment where our raw materials are sourced and where our products or services are deployed.  Our commitment is aligned with the requirements of our accreditation to the Print & Visual Communication Association's Sustainable Green Print (SGP), Level 1 (Cert no L1/203286).

We will meet the requirements of applicable environmental legislative standards.

We will meet industry codes of practice and procedures to which we have subscribed.

We will strive to continuously improve our internal processes and practices to address the environmental impact and cost of our products and services.

We will develop and maintain an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) to document our environmental objectives and environmental targets and enable us to monitor our overall environmental performance.

We will train and resource our staff in practical environmental management.

We will commit to preventing pollution and especially minimise the release of any contaminant into our environment.

We will use raw materials efficiently to conserve our natural resources.

We will recycle packaging materials and minimise waste.

We will prefer biodegradable chemicals and minimise the use of solvents.

We will communicate our environmental commitment to our suppliers, our staff and our customers.

All levels of management within Awards Plus® are responsible for ensuring this policy is communicated and adhered to by staff and subcontractors, and that it is made available to interested members of the public.
