carbon +
We are calling this page Carbon + because we believe as a business we need to look at much more than our carbon footprint. Although the ethos of Jaz Media has always been to be socially responsible, since being awarded both ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 we have have had an officially recognised framework to build on. With this in mind we continually seek ways to decrease our impact on the environment and embrace social responsibility. Our environmental policy and
sustainability policy are used as a point of reference which helps us to maintain focus and drive down excesses. We also have a carbon neutral commitment which will come into force by the end of 2012.
Our aim is to help reduce the negative Economic, Environmental and Social impact of ourselves and our clients. To do this we've established a number of initiatives which we work on as a matter of course. Our efforts are driven by a management system to provide transparency in reporting our actions and reductions.
environment
We're aware our activities can cause harm to the environment and we're taking steps to minimise this effect, including investigating ways of achieving a Carbon Neutral status. Having been awarded ISO 1400 in 2010, we have regular audits at our premises to ensure we show a maintained and reduced impact on the environment year on year.
sustainability
Although there is currently no official authority to measure our sustainability, we have our own initiatives for Economic, Environmental and Social impact and take our responsibility very seriously. We are currently working with our supply chains to ensure all associated providers sustainability is known to us and we will be able to provide an open method of reporting this to our clients.
carbon neutral commitment
Our commitment to be able to run as a carbon neutral business and to offer our clients carbon reduced or carbon neutral products and services will be in full force by the end of 2012. Our approach to achieving this will be documented throughout the year and will be available to interested parties upon achieving our goal.
