Sustainability

Our Philosophy

Our commitment to responsibility is about saving energy and creating a healthier workspace environment. We believe that making the environment more pleasant for our staff, energy-efficient, and eco-friendly will increase our enjoyment of the workplace and lessen its impact on the environment as a whole.

 

Sustainable and responsible treatment of our natural resources is fundamental

  • Environment-friendly practices
  • We turn off lights and devices when not needed and use energy-saving devices
  • Our employees avoid printing where possible
  • We are using Nature Clean cleaning products, a bio-active organic compound that soaks up spills and can be used as mulch on gardens
  • Absorbent pads are used for small spills and are more absorbent than alternative products, such as kitty litter
  • An emergency response kit is located on-site, which includes a containment sock to prevent the accidental spillage of oil

 

 

Recycling

  • We are saving and reusing old boxes
  • All ink and toner cartridges get recycled
  • Oils, oil filters and regulated waste are recycled wherever possible
  • We use an oil separator unit in the workshop that separates the oil from water and then store the oil in drums and engage a contractor to arrange disposal

 

Our vehicles

  • The new Yutong coaches we sell are fitted with Euro5 engines, which are proven to deliver exceptional performance with low running costs while providing environmental benefits of low noise and low emissions
  • Yutong E12 is a 100% electric bus and produces zero emissions
