Employee of the Month for June

Congratulations to MATT LAWDAY who has been recognised for his hard work and even when under pressure he still maintains the same can do attitude.

EcoVadis is an independant organisation which assesses the business practices of companies for sustainability and social responsibility, they score performance against 4 criteria:

1. Environment (Green initiatives, recycling etc)
2. Labour Practices (anti-discrimination policies, fair play etc)
3. Fair Business Practices (anti-bribery policies, ban on anti-competitive practices etc)
4. Sustainable procurement (ensuring supplier source products from sustainable sources & minimise waste etc)

Our assessment can be viewed by our suppliers to see how sustainable our business systems are. You can trust the score as it is independent & impartial.

We have just been assessed for 2015 and have been awarded their GOLD rating, which puts us in the top 5% of the companies that they survey.

When we were assessed in 2013, we were given a silver rating. Since then, we have:

1. Adopted an electric / hybrid vehicle policy to reduce emissions
2. Become a Living Wage Employer
3. Signed the UN Global Compact for universal fair business principles

These have helped us to do better this year.
