1. Policy Statement

Address Intelligence Technologies Limited (Address Intelligence) provides a database marketing and direct mail service to businesses across multiple markets in the UK. Therefore, the Directors, management team, and all employees are aware of the high visibility and critical nature of the reputation of not only Address Intelligence, but also all our clients and stakeholders. The nature of this policy is to ensure the highest standards relating to our approach and business practises to the environment. We aim to ensure this is understood and maintained by all employees and stakeholders of Address Intelligence.

It is our priority to encourage our customers, suppliers and all business associates to do the same. Not only is this sound commercial sense for all; it is also a matter of delivering on our duty of care towards future generations.

2. Company Responsibilities

Address Intelligence commits to creating a culture and environment across the complete business which is aware of the environmental impact of all processes and actions taken. This will include (but is not limited to):

Staff and training
Codes of practise
Recycling
Assessment of current and future activities for environmental impact
Clients and suppliers
Equipment
Maintaining awareness of environmental developments, updates and news

3. Employees

All Address Intelligence employees (including part-time and contractors) will be provided this policy, and made aware of their responsibility to maintaining best practise in relation to the environment. This will include activities such as:

Use of designated recycling waste bins within the office
Responsible disposal of all waste material, including shredding waste

Minimise use of energy and water within the office environment

Address Intelligence is happy to encourage and support any employee initiatives and ideas which further our environmental stance, and to create policy where appropriate. All employees will be provided this policy on commencement of employment, and will have access to an on-line version for updates at all times.

4. Clients and Suppliers

Address Intelligence will at all times work closely with both to establish any opportunity to use processes and materials which have a more positive environmental impact. This will include for example:

Printing using recyclable materials, vegetable based inks, etc
Using printing processes which are environmentally friendly, and use less paper
Insist on Forestry Stewardship Commission (FSC) paper use
Decrease the use of plastics and non-recyclable wrapping
Use suppliers with “green” credentials who are actively working towards a better environment
Use transport and delivery services which are environmentally friendly

Address Intelligence is committed to continuously reviewing its supplier base, and encouraging existing suppliers to provide better environmental solutions. We will always discuss environmental issues with all clients, and are happy to provide comparison quotes for any activities where an alternative environmental solution is available at different costs.

5. Policy maintenance and review

This policy is managed by the Address Intelligence HR Director. It will be formally reviewed annually, and updated when appropriate should specific best practise opportunities arise at any other time.
