To this end Axia will:

• Minimise waste and maximise the use of resources within the business.

• Monitor and review the company’s environmental performance on a regular basis.

More specifically, as an Enterprise Software Consultancy, Axia is committed to:

• Reducing the use of paper.

• Minimising the use of plastics (cd’s, etc) within its products and encouraging customers to use downloadable or email versions.

• Minimising unnecessary printing.

• Recycling waste items such as toner/ink jet cartridges, paper and cardboard etc.

• Encouraging the use of public transport instead of using cars for business travel, or if acceptable, communicating by telephone/email etc rather than by face-to-face meetings.

• Reducing the use of electricity eg by ensuring unused equipment is turned off when not being used and identifying practices that reduce power consumption.

• Choosing energy-saving IT equipment (when replacing or purchasing new equipment) that has been manufactured in an environmentally sound way.

• Disposing of old hardware responsibly - ideally being reused/reconditioned or if not, being recycled.

This policy will be reviewed annually to ensure its continuing effectiveness.
