Thesis Technology Products Ltd.

Environmental Policy Statement

Thesis Technology is a professional and environmentally conscious organisation, which acknowledges the impact that our operations may potentially have on the environment.

We are committed to minimising or preventing any harmful environmental effects that could result from our activities, therefore our policy is to meet and, where practical, exceed all relevant regulatory requirements.

As part of our commitment, we will continually evaluate and analyse the environmental impact within our business.

Climate Change

At Thesis Technology we understand the causes, and the impact, of climate change.

Climate change is caused by the build up of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere and there are several main contributors to this.

Greenhouse gases are:

Carbon dioxide (CO2), Methane, Nitrous Oxide and F gases

The principal sources of CO2 are from fossil fuels, concrete and change of land use.

Methane is produced by animals and food waste, but also by drilling for fossil fuels and by release of gases from the permafrost in the Tundra.

Everyone has a part to play in fighting climate change, both as individuals and as part of wider organisations.

Our Managing Director has recently joined the Chichester District Climate Action Network and undertaken Carbon Literacy training which is about empowering people to take action.

Using specific policies set out, we will:

  1. Conserve and reduce, as far is possible, fuel consumption and emissions in our transportation, through route and job planning and use of hybrid/ full electric vehicles;
  2. Recycle, reuse and reduce paper, plastics and wood consumption within the company, thereby minimising waste, with a specific focus on reducing use of single use plastic packaging;
  3. Implement our policies through training programs, to increase employees’ awareness.
  4. Ensure that this policy is regularly reviewed and updated;
  5. Embrace planned environmental policy changes proposed in the next release of ISO:9001.

1. Aims and objectives

The clear objective of this policy is to minimise any impact on the environment by:

  • allocating suitable and sufficient resources, and by implementing appropriate systems so that all legal duties are met;
  • taking steps to reduce our impact on the environment by cutting the amount of energy the company uses wherever reasonably practicable;
  • planning and organising deliveries and staff travel, so that road travel is kept to a minimum;
  • investing in low-energy technology and, if practicable, renewable energy technology;
  • preventing pollution, reducing waste and ensuring, wherever practicable, that measures are implemented to protect and preserve natural habitats, flora and fauna;
  • considering the effects that our operations may have on the local community;
  • promoting environmental awareness amongst our employees and suppliers, by implementation of operational procedures;
  • ensuring effective and expedient incident control, investigation and reporting;
  • identifying that if Thesis Technology does not have staff with the appropriate levels of competence in-house, we will seek competent advice from an experienced environmental professional;
  • identifying all environmental legislation that applies, both directly and indirectly, to our activities;
  • establishing a system to monitor and report on the outcomes of this policy;
  • ensuring sustainability by carrying out purchasing activities in an environmentally responsible manner;
  • reviewing and updating this policy on an annual basis;

 

2. Commitment

Ana Palmer  will take overall responsibility for ensuring that this policy is fully adopted into Thesis Technology. All employees and sub-contractors are expected to co-operate and assist in the implementation of this policy. This includes co-operating with management on any environment-related matter.
