OUR ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY
INGENIA understands the responsibility every company has in relation to taking care of the environment. Green initiatives have been developed by INGENIA both in products and processes are rapidly increasing in popularity. Our product development teams have this as part of their core aims to improve and increase the green credentials of all of our products. This can be from incorporating better components into our products to sourcing nearer or within the UK to decrease the CO2 emissions as a result of transporting goods around the world.
We recognise the need within the Hygiene industry to constantly improve in this regard, and INGENIA are committed through innovation to take our green responsibility seriously.
We proactively review our environmental policies and make all employees aware of this policy upon joining the business. We also make it a key priority to raise awareness, encourage participation and train employees in environmental matters inside and outside of the business.
We are committed to becoming a truly sustainable business and will continue to provide our customers with high quality sustainable products and services in ways that enhance the environment and help reduce their organisations carbon footprint.
We actively work with suppliers and sub-contractors who enforce the same principles as ourselves.
Changes to this policy are driven by regular audits carried out across all areas of the business.
We recognise the need within the Hygiene industry to constantly improve in this regard, and INGENIA are committed through innovation to take our green responsibility seriously.
