  • Where possible, we reuse all cardboard which enters our warehouse. If the cardboard is not fit for reuse, we recycle through a third party

Directors, management and all staff have responsibilities for the communication and implementation of the policy and must ensure that environmental issues are given adequate consideration in the planning and day-to-day operations.

All employees are expected to co-operate and assist in the implementation of this policy, whilst ensuring that their own work, so far as reasonably practicable, is carried out without risk to themselves, others or the environment. This includes co-operating with management on any environment-related matters.
