Environmental Policy

First Move Direct Marketing is committed to achieving environmental best practice throughout its business activities, wherever this is practicable and is ISO 14001 Accredited.

February 2011 - we installed electric voltage reduction control equipment, which will reduce our CO2 generation by over 14 tons per annum.

In 2011 we achieved a reduction in landfill of 105 tons. We re-cycle all paper, board, plastic, wooden pallets, electrical equipment, plastic cups, bottles and cans produced by both our production processes and our staff.

We recognise that the pursuit of economic growth and healthy environment must be closely linked and the ecological protection and sustainable development are collective responsibilities in which businesses and individuals have a significant role to play.

Our environmental responsibility programme is based upon continuous improvement, consistent with current knowledge.

Environmental management continues to be a corporate priority, fully integrated into our business. We believe sound environmental practice is a key factor, demonstrating effective corporate management. We seek to train and educate our staff to act in an environmentally responsible manner.

The company’s objective is to search for ways to improve material and energy efficiency and to reduce the environmental impact of its products and systems. First Move will participate in economically and ecologically justified systems for the re-use, recycling, energy recovery and disposal of its products.

We aim to monitor and control the environmental impact of our production processes. The impact should be kept as low as technically possible and economically feasible.

We will encourage our suppliers to pursue the best practice. Our procurement policy will take account of this. We will seek to ensure that unsuitable products and services, which do not coincide with sound ecological policy, are not pursued. Employee awareness and responsibility are indispensable in realising this.
