Environmental Policy

DWC's mission is to be the UK's leading sales, marketing and retail recruitment consultancy and we believe that this involves protecting the environment at the local and global level. We strive to ensure that our operations today do not have a negative impact on the lives of future generations.

Our goal is to achieve continuous environmental improvement. We will comply with all current legislation and, where possible, act in anticipation of future environmental legislation. We base our environmental programme around the hierarchy of 'Reduce, Reuse, Recycle' and are committed to continuous review, evaluation and improvement of our programme.

Our business impacts on the environment through:
• sourcing products and other materials to serve our business;
• the operation of our business and administrative functions.

We aim to address these impacts by:

Business Operations -focusing on business processes to:
• improve energy efficiency;
• minimise impacts associated with odour, noise, effluent and emissions to the atmosphere;
• reduce the amount of solid waste;
• increase the value recovered from solid waste before its responsible disposal;

Purchasing - focusing on procurement to:
• work in partnership with environmentally responsible suppliers to minimise the resource use and pollution associated with our products and operations;

Our Employees - focusing on training, and communicating with our employees to:
• increase the environmental awareness and relevant skills of all who work for DWC;

• increase the environmental awareness of our suppliers and our customers;
• improve liaison with local communities and their representatives.

Administration - focusing on our office-based activities to:

Our policy is endorsed by the Board of Directors and is communicated to all our employees and suppliers. Copies of the policy are available from our Head Office. The policy is reviewed annually and updated where necessary. It forms the basis for setting environmental improvement objectives that influence the way we do business.
