Corporate Social
Responsibility Statement

We have a proactive approach to environmental management, which strives to anticipate and prevent potential environmental degradation. We are committed to complying with local, national, and international environmental regulations applicable to our operations and business services and have integrated environmental considerations into our operations, asset management, and other business decisions, in all markets.

We recognise that identifying and quantifying environmental risks should be part of the normal process of risk assessment and management.

With regard to our customers, we regard compliance with applicable environmental regulations and the use of sound environmental practices as important factors in demonstrating effective corporate management.

We will endeavour to pursue the best practice in environmental management, including energy efficiency, recycling and waste reduction. We will seek to form business relations with partners, suppliers, and subcontractors who follow similarly high environmental standards.

We review and update our practices periodically to incorporate relevant developments in environmental management. We recognise the need to conduct internal environmental reviews on a periodic basis, and to measure our activities against our environmental goals.

We are committed to minimising the environmental impact of our operations by addressing the areas of energy use, business travel and waste management.

Our objectives are to:

• Avoid physically travelling to meetings etc. where alternatives are available and practical, such as using teleconferencing, video conferencing or web cams, and efficient timing of meetings to avoid multiple trips.
• Reduce utility usage by employing utility providers who have sustainable and recycled energy.
• Implement new sustainable technologies throughout the Group.
• Consider environmental criteria when choosing services and goods.
• Fundamentally, we will reduce our impact on the environment and ask that our employees, suppliers and clients do likewise.

What we do:

• Provide recycling facilities for paper, printer toners, batteries etc.
• Where possible, reuse, reduce and recycle at all Rhopoint sites.
• Use appropriately licensed organisations to remove and where possible recycle IT and electronic equipment in accordance with WEEE regulations.
• Make available a “Ride to Work” cycling scheme.
• Provide teleconferencing facilities at each location.
