Green Policy
hum is a full service digital advertising agency. The responsibility for managing and maintaining the policy lies with the Board of Hum Interactive Ltd.
hum is an environmentally conscious and responsible company. To carry out this commitment, it is hum's policy to strive to ensure that all aspects of the business have the least harmful effect on the environment by implementing an environmental management system to:
- Be fully aware of all environmental legislation and ensure that regulatory requirements are met and, where feasible, improved upon
- Monitor the implementation of the policy by carrying out periodic audits of compliance and, when appropriate, introduce remedial measures
- Ensure all employees, in the course of their duties, act in accordance with the environmental policy
- Encourage Suppliers, Contractors and Vendors to act in accordance with our environmental standards
Progress in implementing the environmental management system will be monitored on a regular basis and fully reviewed every three years.
In addition, areas of particular attention within the business are the selection of non-polluting technology, waste minimisation, reuse/recycling and the reduction of energy consumption.
An Environmental Team has been set up to create and regularly review several key parts of our business. These are:
- Housekeeping: use of recycled paper; reduction and reuse of paper; use of printing and inks used; produce and products used throughout the company office
- Office Energy: monitoring of computers, monitors, other electricals and lighting; heating and insulation; windows and ventilation; energy supplier and potential switch to a Green Tariff.
- Transport: Review of how employees travel to work and travel to meetings; where use of public transport can be improved on.
- Education: informal staff talks on what the important issues are and most importantly why; published copies of our Environmental Policy and our environmental management system.
