Running our company in an environmentally friendly way is good for the environment and good for our business. We're working to conserve energy and reduce waste and are exploring the use of sustainable materials and products.
Whether we're saving costs by reducing energy consumption or creating covetable products through innovative, sustainable design, we believe that reducing our impact on the environment can also result in positive business benefits.
Vogue UK is committed to responsible stewardship of the environment, wherever we operate and specifically where our activities have the potential to adversely affect the environment. We aim to identify and reduce environmental impacts, minimise the use of energy and other resources and reflect the principles of sustainable development in all our activities. Our policy and guiding principles on environmental issues are embedded in our business through our management systems. We expect all business operations to ensure that:
- stakeholders are actively consulted and involved in the way we manage environmental issues particularly employees, our contractors and regulators
- the sustainable use of resources and materials and the potential harm to the environment is considered in the design and development of business opportunities
- significant environmental aspects and impacts from current and relevant past activities and services are identified and, where we have direct control or can be expected to have an influence, an environmental management system is implemented
- the impacts of our business activities on the environment are proactively managed with the aim of minimising them
- environmental performance is measured and reviewed against agreed targets to demonstrate continuous performance improvement
- where the workplace, work activities or work planning are shared with any other employer, occupier or relevant person, there is demonstrable evidence of cooperation and coordination of environmental management
