Sustainability Policy
At OEM Audio Ltd, we think green. We recognise the importance of environmental responsibility and strive to reduce our impact on the environment. To do this, we have established realistic objectives based on the company's Green Goals.
Our green goals
- Pursue the prevention of pollution and the reduction of waste from our business activities.
- Actively monitor and reduce the energy consumption of our facilities.
- Ensure that we comply with environmental legislation, standards, and contract requirements.
- Develop and implement a strategy to transition the business to be a low carbon emitter.
- Adopt technologies and practices that seek to reduce the company's environmental impact.
- Where possible, align with suppliers and contractors that adopt the same environmental principles as we do.
- Grow our green knowledge.
Our objectives
- Begin transitioning to electric vehicles for the company fleet.
- Segregate waste streams in line with the waste hierarchy – recycling, green, landfill.
- Increase the use of renewable resources and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
- Where possible, use suppliers and contractors that are ISO14001 accredited.
- Introduce a “switch it off” policy – ensuring lights are switched off when not in use and equipment is switched off or in ECO mode when not in use.
- Provide staff with adequate training, tools and resources to work in an environmentally responsible manner.
These objectives are monitored through a management review process to ensure effectiveness.
Our principles
Sustainability is about meeting the needs of today without adversely impacting the needs of tomorrow. OEM Audio Ltd is committed to conducting our business in an ethical and sustainable way. We aim to balance our goals to achieve both economic prosperity and social responsibility.
In all activities, OEM Audio Ltd will seek to:
- Minimise harm – reducing harm to people, the community and the environment by managing and reducing our greenhouse gas emissions.
- Maximise efficiency – reducing waste through efficient purchasing and processes, including wasted materials, energy, water, time and money.
- Educate – educate our employees and suppliers on our sustainability vision.
- Communicate – communicate internally and externally on sustainability activities and approaches.
- Reduce consumption and packaging – minimise waste by considering the waste hierarchy before disposal, reduce consumption of raw materials and single-use products, and reuse or refurbish wherever possible rather than replace.
- Consider the production cycle of goods – purchase goods and services that are manufactured, used and disposed of in an environmentally responsible way, and support local and regional materials where possible.
This policy will be updated as we continue to learn and develop our sustainability practices.
