Environment

Recycling

• Use of paper is where we impact on the environment most significantly and we are working hard to use less and recycle more. Of the total paper waste generated at our main sites, we recycle ~360kg every month which is 4320kg per year or 86.4% of our total paper stock.
• We have placed recycling boxes for used batteries in areas easily accessible to our employees.
• All our printers have ink cartridges which are all recyclable ink jets.
• We are currently in the process of distributing duplex printers throughout the company.
• During 2007 all used computers were either sold for dismantling and recycling or were donated to charities.

Energy consumption

• All light bulbs were replaced by PL lighting technology. This alone is equal to 80% light energy savings.
• Sunshield stickers were placed on all windows in order to reduce air conditioning energy. This move has cut our average energy consumption by 5%-10%.
