Dedicated to helping you communicate more effectively and cost efficiently.
Our Corporate Social Responsibility
We recognise the importance of doing more than just ‘doing the right thing’ when it comes to issues of Corporate Social Responsibility – that’s why we take things very seriously and employ dedicated teams of experts to help us excel in driving initiatives far beyond legal compliance.
A focus on Health, Safety and the Environment
We’re committed to managing our activities throughout the group to safeguard the health, safety and welfare of our employees and to provide the highest level of protection to the environment.
We seek to identify and eliminate occupational health hazards, which will ensure that our employees continue to be provided with a safe workplace.
Effective management of health, safety and environment matters is a major component of our commitment to corporate responsibility and our approach to these important issues extends beyond simply legal compliance. We remain committed to seeking out appropriate opportunities to improve our performance and to reducing the environmental impact of our operations.
Our Group objectives and targets apply to all of our businesses and we review them on an annual basis to take account of changes to the business.
Our environmental policy commits us continually to deliver cost effective opportunities to improve standards of environmental performance and to develop systems for the management of environmental issues.
Communisis aspires to be the best in class in all aspects of environmental management. We view compliance with all applicable legal requirements and legal codes of practice as our minimum standards and work pro-actively to reduce emissions and waste from our products and processes.
During 2007 an incident investigation reporting system will be installed for all environmental incidents to identify root cause and prevent re-occurrence.
We are especially keen to support our customers’ CSR priorities.
We are managing a project to develop our existing Carbon Reduction Strategy Plan to reduce, to the greatest extent possible, our total CO2 emissions.
Chain of Custody
Our commitment to environmental issues has seen us achieve another certification. Four of our sites operate under the Chain of Custody programme run by the FSC (Forestry Stewardship Council) and PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forestry Certification).
Chain of Custody certifications not only confirm that the paper we use is sourced from sustainable forests but also identify every link in the production chain from the sourcing of timber, through to paper manufacture and the printing process. During 2007 we intend to expand this certification to the remainder of our relevant sites by mid 2008.
Certification
We are certified to the ISO 14001: 2004 environmental management standard and to the international standard known as OHSAS 18001:1999 (Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Services. Our newly opened Centre of Excellence in Liverpool is actively seeking certification to both these standards.
