Environmental Policy Statement

The Company is committed to minimising the impact it has on the environment and is continually trying to improve performance in this and in all areas of its business.

Environmental measures we have in place include:

• As much of our packaging as possible is re-used, re-usable, and recyclable and is manufactured using recycled material, where possible.
• LED lights in our trade counter, offices, and warehouses consume less electricity than the old strip lights and other lights they have replaced.
• We have introduced fully electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles into the Company fleet and installed on-site charging for those vehicles.
• All waste is segregated and recycled or reused whenever possible.
• We are constantly seeking to reduce waste sent to landfill.
• Moving to electronic invoicing has saved over 90% of our previous paper and envelope usage.
• The use of online video conferencing software for virtual meetings has significantly reduced our business miles.

The management continually monitors our environmental performance, striving for improvements across our operation and ensuring compliance with all relevant legislation as a minimum.
