We continuously. Our onsite environmental management is always in line with our own standards and the management principles of our clients. Our environmental management is highly effective; throughout our entire history we have experienced no environmental incidents.
Below we outline a sample of our environmental initiatives in line with our commitment to sustainability.
Offset Carbon Emissions
Senior management have set an enterprise-wide goal of offsetting carbon emissions by the end of 2012. While we aim to minimise our environmental impact through the measures below, we are committed to offsetting our inevitable impacts. This is a real commitment with the full support of Corsec Service’s senior management.
Green Our Supply Chain
Corsec Services is committed to doing business with those organisations with strong environmentally sustainability principles. We use our buying power to influence our suppliers and encourage them to pursue environmentally sustainable practices. When assessing suppliers we canvass the following:
- Implemented environmental policy
- Allocated environmental management responsibility
- Management of environmental issues and risks
- Green supply chain
Use Resources Efficiently
We minimise resource consumption throughout our operation. The various elements of our resource minimisation strategy can be found below:
Energy
Automated lighting system; movement and daylight sensors to ensure lights are only on when needed
IT power management regimes; set computer, printer and audio visual equipment sleep modes and disable screen savers
IT equipment procurement regime; incorporates ENERGY STAR considerations in all purchase decisions
Paper
Paperless fax system that drastically reduces paper consumption
Recycled paper; approximately 70% of paper purchased by Corsec Services contains recycled content
Digital filing system; encourage employees to store documents digitally to save paper and minimise space used for storage
Digital communication; encourage email as the preferred method of communication as opposed to paper
Printing
Default duplex print settings; reduces our paper consumption by almost 50% through default duplex printing settings on all printers
Default black and white print settings; reduces cartridge and toner consumption
Centralised printing centres; minimises the number of printers, allows greater control over settings and discourages unnecessary printing
Multifunction centres; combining copiers, printers and scanners in one device minimises consumption
Travel
Encourage video and teleconferencing; minimises travel for both employees and clients
Offer telecommute options; where possible Corsec Services allows employees to work from anywhere, including home. We operate a secure virtual private network where employees can access our servers without travelling to the office
Recycling initiatives
Company wide recycling; all paper products, glass, cans, plastic and printer cartridges are recycled Reminder signs; positive behavioural signs placed around the office to remind employees to recycle
