We take our environmental responsibilities seriously at AF Associates. Because of the nature of our work, employee and customer research, we can generate a great deal of paperwork. In addition to complying with all environmental legislation we adopt the follow processes on a daily basis:
- Seek to minimise the generation of waste by the provision of electronically generated surveys.
- Where paper surveys are required we ensure that our printers and suppliers help us to stay ‘green' by:
- Keeping the number of hard proofs to a minimum
- Using PDF files and email to reduce both paper usage and transport emissions
- Running only alcohol free machinery
- Ensuring all paper is only from sustainable sources
- Using vegetable based inks
- Using ink tins that are recycled
- Using solvents that are disposed of in a responsible way
- Recycling all waste paper
Continuous Improvement
We monitor and measure our environmental responsibilities and reassess everything we do in the light of changing technology, legislation and best environmental practice.
