SUSTAINABLE ENVIRONMENTAL PRACTICES

Sustainable environmental practices are extremely important to Earthwise Design Consulting.

We endeavor to reduce the amount of all consumable office products; by sending as much paperwork as possible such as invoices and correspondence electronically and store all information on a computer rather than print hard copies. We reuse as much paper as possible; ensuring both sides of scrap paper is used before recycling or composting. Any paper products purchased for promotional material is made from recycled paper or FSC certified paper. Packaging and envelopes are always reused. Printer ink cartridges are refilled.

Computers, lights (Light bulbs are all energy efficient.) etc are switched off when not in use and we would rather put on an extra layer or run round a bit than crank up the heating system.

A home office saves on commuting and the emissions this would create daily. A vehicle is very rarely used for business. Public transport is preferred whenever possible. However, it is inevitable that our producers are visited and our goods shipped – endeavoring to offset these trips etc at least 2% of the annual profits are gifted to environmental charities who work towards reducing CO2 emissions.

We are continually looking at ways to improve our green performance as a business and to reduce our impact on the earth. Little steps make a huge difference!
