Frontline Environmental Policy
It is Frontline’s policy to minimise the effects of our operations upon the environment, to encourage the conservation of resources, and to comply with any relevant environmental legislation.
In pursuance of this policy, Frontline will:
- Assess Frontline’s environmental aspects and impacts and put in place any necessary control measures
- Assign environmental duties and responsibilities as appropriate
- Endeavour to promote and maintain awareness of environmental issues to all personnel and partner organisations
- Seek to progressively improve levels of environmental protection, reduce wastage, reduce emissions, and reduce energy consumption
- Aim to minimise the use of all materials, supplies and energy. Wherever possible we will use renewable or recyclable materials
- Promote recycling or reuse of materials and ensure that the methods of disposal for unusable waste are safe and where practical create no long term environmental impact
- Include environmental consideration in investment decisions
- Assist in developing and promoting economically-viable solutions to environmental problems and carbon footprint reduction in our industry
- Undertake regular monitoring and auditing against defined criteria and, where necessary, implement remedial measures
Our internal environment initiatives are lead by our Environmental Manager, Jaswinder Sian (jaswinder.sian@flgroup.co.uk), and these include:
- Recycling - facilities provided for paper, plastics, cans, and electrical equipment
- Plastic Cups – removal of reliance on plastics cups
- Hand Dryers – removal of hand towels
- Smart Lighting – sensor lighting on all work areas
- Hot water provision – hydro boil hot water instead of boiling kettles
- Vending – reduction in machine vending and increase in fresh brew
- Printing responsibly – reduced reliance on printed matter and duplex printing
Frontline also actively drives industry wide initiatives and sponsor the MagSell “Environmental Performance or Initiative of the Year” award. In addition we are also supporting the environmental agenda within the industry by:
- Involvement in the PPA sub-committee investigating how Carbon Footprinting should be applied within the industry
- Developing an Environmental agenda with our publishing partners
- Considering the Environmental credentials of our key suppliers
