Corporate Social Responsibility
At Chemistry we are committed to conducting our business in an ethical and socially responsible manner. We are achieving this in partnership with our clients and suppliers by developing, supporting and promoting the sustainable solutions that will achieve commercial and ethical goals.
Corporate Social Responsibility, its not just a whim.
We've put our own house in order first. In the studio, we make sure that all materials used are recycled, wherever possible. We reuse all our paper and when there is absolutely no room left for scribbling down ideas, we recycle it. We actively look to recycle all our office waste including paper, glass, plastic, used toner cartridges. As a result, we have reduced the amount of paper we use. Most of our clients are now happy to receive pdfs of invoices and other documentation through our online project management system.
On the job
We know our team are our most important asset. We are committed to providing a work environment where our team feel appreciated and valued. All our staff are encouraged and supported along a path of continuous professional development.
Spreading the word
We try to encourage and promote environmental and social initiatives with all our clients, for example, we suggest they print their direct mail and other literature on paper from sustainable sources where appropriate.
Supply and demand
More and more printers are becoming ISO 14001 compliant than ever before; this being a high standard of environmental regulation that limits pollution and pushes for improved recycling rates. Additionally, recycled or FSC certified paper is more readily available at more reasonable prices than ever before. All this helps us to lessen the environmental impact of the print work we undertake.
In conclusion
Corporate Social Responsibility is a broad term which covers huge issues such as governance, responsible sourcing, eco-efficiency, environmental management, stakeholder consultation, labour standards, and employee and community relations – all things that a business affects in its lifetime.
We haven’t tackled all of these yet but we're committed to taking the steps towards them and we believe that all of our steps, large and small, contribute towards making a difference.
