About Sterling
Environmental policy
We believe that a sound environmental policy and effective environmental management system should be an integral part of our competitive strategy. It benefits our staff, our customers and contributes to the well being of the broader community. We achieved the ISO14001 accreditation in November 2010.
We are committed to setting demanding targets, measuring our performance and achieving continuous improvement in minimising the impact of our activities have on the environment.
Regulatory compliance
We will comply with all legislation and regulatory requirements
Prevention of pollution
We will minimize releases to air, water and land
Use of natural resources
We will use energy efficiently and minimise consumption of raw materials, through reduction, re-use and recycling
Communication
We will regularly communicate our policy to staff, clients and suppliers
We minimise the environmental impact of our relocation services, through:
- Reducing the environmental impact of international removals through carbon offsetting and fuel efficiency
- Installing recycling facilities in all our offices
- Recycling packing materials after removals have taken place, where possible
- Purchasing packing materials made from recycled materials
We aim to have a positive effect on our community, with:
- Fundraising events to support local charities
- Voluntary noise restrictions around our operational offices
- Close work with suppliers to make sure they understand their ethical responsibilities
