The majority of suppliers are
used on a regular basis for a variety of reasons
- primarily reliability and cost - and all
should be asked for a copy of their environmental
policy which should be as much as factor in
sourcing goods and services as any other criterion.
.
On cleaning:
-
all cleaning
products should be environmentally friendly
- i.e. phosphate-free and biodegradable,
and no bleach-based cleaning material
should be used;
-
outside companies providing
cleaning [and laundry] services should
be required to use such products, provided
by Personal Group where necessary;
-
soap products in toilets
will be environmentally friendly;
-
the use of plastic bags
should be kept to a minimum (e.g. not
used in desk waste bins) and all bin
bags should either be biodegradable
or made from recycled plastic;
-
contractors for window
cleaning should be required to use environmentally
friendly cleaning products.

from a local supplier providing recycled goods.
