Environmental Statement
Ministry of Design (Min of Des Limited) acknowledges the importance of supplying clients with work of a consistent and high standard within an environmentally sound framework.
It is our policy to:
Minimise waste, emissions and effluent discharges, and ensure that unavoidable waste is, where possible, recycled or disposed of responsibly.
Foster a sense of responsibility for the environment within the organisation with the provision of information wherever available.
Assess, monitor and, where possible, reduce the impact of our activities on the local and general environment.
Take account of the environmental impact of all raw materials and processes used by our suppliers and where possible take steps to minimise this through strategic evaluation and planning.
Maintain systems to set and monitor objectives and targets; identify deviations from the stated policy and implement appropriate corrective action.
Advise customers where appropriate on the best environmental practices associated with the storage, use and disposal of the company’s products.
Ensure that all print suppliers are at least FSC accredited and comply with the necessary legislation.
Use paper stocks which are at least 50% post-consumer waste, with an intention to increase this to 100% over time.
Maintain electronic systems for workflow, scheduling and invoicing (e-systems) in preference to paper-based systems.
Ensure that all sub-contractors and suppliers act in accordance with this policy.
Strive continually to improve our environmental performance and prevent pollution.
Comply with all relevant Environmental Legislation.
