3. Sustainable Materials:
   

   We will strive to use materials that are recyclable and environmentally friendly in all our operations as stipulated under the EU’s Ecodesign Directive (2009/125/EC), ensuring products are designed with energy efficiency and reduced environmental impact in mind.

4. Reducing Carbon Footprint:
   

   We encourage the use of public transport by our staff to decrease pollution and carbon emissions, in line with the UK Government’s encouragement of public transport use to reduce traffic emissions and meet carbon reduction targets under the Climate Change Act 2008.
