Cititec Environmental Policy Statement: 2009

Cititec operates with consideration for the environment at the core of its activities. It is committed to continual improvement and to creating as sustainable an organisation as possible within the recruitment industry.  We have identified our environmental impacts and have created solutions to reduce these significantly.  We are committed to preventing pollution and to taking the steps needed to comply with environmental legislation.
In particular, Cititec aims to:

Energy and Carbon

• Raise awareness of energy consumption throughout operations
• Reduce energy use through behavioural change and using new efficient technologies
• Calculate our operating carbon emissions annually and arrange offsetting as per company targets
• Use public transport for local travel and rail in preference to air for short haul journeys

Waste

• Increase waste awareness and apply the principles of the waste hierarchy: Reduce – Reuse – Recycle
• Segregate and recycle paper, cardboard, plastic bottles, glass, aluminium cans and ink cartridges
• Reuse, donate to charity or recycle all redundant IT hardware

Purchasing and Procurement

• Consider the environmental credentials and life-cycle of all products, services and suppliers
• Purchase 100% recycled paper to create a ‘closed-loop’ solution

This policy will be communicated to all Cititec staff members to ensure its effectiveness and will be made publicly available to stakeholders.  It will be reviewed on an annual basis to ensure continued relevance and to reflect the changing nature of Cititec and the services it provides.
