This is the Company’s statement of Corporate Social Responsibility which describes the framework within which we work. We espouse these values in all of our work and each member of staff adheres to them. In a small company it is very easy to ensure that we all abide by these standards and members of staff are reminded of their importance. Should any member of staff fail to abide with them we have processes in place to restore efficiency and, if necessary, take more serious sanctions.

Push Technology Limited recognises its obligations both as a business and as individuals, to reduce the impact and demand on the environment of our operations and products we supply. It is our policy not only to meet such obligations and abide by existing leglislation but also to take all practical steps to minimise our ‘environmental impact’ and prevent pollution of the environment, whilst conserving resources wherever possible. We will not work with suppliers who have a poor or unacceptable environmental performance and we will rate them in this regard.
It is our firm belief that stewardship of the environment rests with us all and that we should all play our part in ensuring future sustainability. Wherever possible we encourage our suppliers, partners, customers and staff to join us in reducing the effect we all have on the environment and to create a culture of continuous improvement. In particular, with regard to safeguarding the high level ozone layer by minimising output of carbon emissions, we encourage reduction of energy use and waste output.
In particular we encourage:
- Reducing employees mileage in private cars thus reducing CO2 emissions
- Encourage the use of public transport
- Recycle Toner cartridges
- Recycle waste paper, newspaper, magazines, brochures, envelopes
- Promote electronic internal information to reduce paper usage
- Re-use of non confidential papers
- Water - notify maintenance staff as soon as leaks are identified
- Water - use cold water instead of hot water where possible
- Water - take steps to ensure that there are no pollutants discharged
- Ensure all electronic equipment is either recycled or re-sold to third party when replaced
- Computers are switched off when not in use
- Lighting in un-used rooms is turned off until in use
- Environmentally friendly printer and copier paper.
- Where possible we ensure that documentation is supplied in electronic format instead of in hardcopy
In this regard, Push Technology Limited looks to reduce its waste and power consumption by 5% annually. It also looks to reduce its business millage by 10% annual by using electronic conferencing facilities when ever practical.
