Energy Machines provides products and services that optimize operations, processes, and workflows within the energy sector, contributing to annual reductions in greenhouse gas emissions by thousands of tons. Our systems improve energy efficiency, helping reduce overall energy use. This environmental policy outlines our environmental commitments, designates organizational responsibilities, and defines our objectives and actions to protect the environment.
Our Responsibilities
Energy Machines is committed to proactive environmental management, working closely with customers, suppliers, employees, and other stakeholders to exceed environmental expectations. We strictly adhere to all applicable environmental regulations and, where relevant, work to prevent pollution. The Managing Director holds ultimate responsibility for ensuring regulatory compliance. Our environmental policy is communicated to all employees, with branch office managers overseeing the implementation of objectives, policies, and procedures where needed. Every employee is responsible for following the company’s environmental rules and procedures. Environmental management in office settings is overseen by administrative personnel.
Key Environmental Focus Areas
Energy Machines has identified the following areas as priorities for minimizing environmental impact:
1. Recycling
Our operations, largely office-based, produce various waste types, including paper, packaging, electronics, fluorescent lamps, and batteries. We are committed to minimizing waste and ensuring all materials are recycled responsibly.
2. Purchasing
Our purchasing decisions prioritize environmental sustainability by choosing products and suppliers with strong environmental credentials. Environmental considerations are integral to all product and system procurement. Consumables are selected based on recognized environmental certifications.
3. Energy Use
Our operations consume energy for heating, hot water, and electricity. We work continually to reduce energy consumption and ensure that our energy sources are environmentally friendly.
4. Travel
For business travel, we prioritize environmentally friendly alternatives. Where feasible, we choose rail over air travel and use video conferencing to reduce travel needs.
Environmental Objectives and Monitoring
We continuously monitor our environmental impact and update our environmental policy annually based on our goals. We create action plans to meet these goals and establish a system of annual checks to track progress. If objectives are not met, corrective action plans are developed. The head of administration oversees these monitoring activities.
