Under the Kyoto Protocol, by 2008-2012 the UK must reduce its baseline emissions of six major greenhouse gases by 12.5 per cent from a baseline target set in 1990. The UK government has also set a target to reduce carbon dioxide emissions to 20 per cent beneath that baseline. The long-term goal is to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions by 60% by 2050.
In partnership with our clients and suppliers, we have acknowledged environmental issues. We make sure that all materials we use are as environmentally friendly as possible.
The everyday cleaning agents and products we use are dispensed through appropriate equipment, for example pump sprays rather than aerosol cans. Only if absolutely necessary, we may use aerosol cans that are free of CFC.
Most of the products we use are biodegradable and we encourage the use of recycled paper goods to all our clients. We supply high quality environmentally friendly products.
Power Cleaning Group recognises its responsibilities as an office cleaning service organisation and concerns itself with both the long and short-term effects of its business in relation to the environment; in terms of the cleaning agents used and in handling waste disposal.
We recognise that real progress on environmental issues can only be made through the action of individuals, companies and legal measures. We have developed policies to promote a practical day-to-day commitment to the environment and have ensured the company will contribute time and effort, both in management and technical terms and be dedicated, to the initial reduction and eventual elimination of significant pollution likely to emanate from the activities of these companies.
This will include a commitment:
- Reduction of waste and the consumption of resources (materials, fuel and energy)
- Minimising the environmental effect of new developments through strategic planning
- Specifying products that minimise environmental effect in production, use and disposal
- Ensure all our transport is LPG powered
