Behind The Scenes: Environmental Committee

10th March 2023/ Company News

Did you know we have an Environmental Committee at Europa, dedicated to becoming more knowledgeable about the environmental impacts we have, and the ways we can make a difference? 

Achieving the ISO14001:2015 certification was just the start as we continue seeking out positive changes for the environment and improving our customer services. 

What our team enjoy?

Our Environmental Committee all have a passion for sustainability, meeting up once a month to discuss their findings with the rest of the team. 

We asked what they enjoyed most about being part of the team:

“It’s great to be working with a Team that has a genuine passion for an important subject and one that ensures continued certification with Europa’s ISO14001 requirements.” – Paul Carter, Quality Manager

“It’s really rewarding, as part of a group we are all working together to make changes that seem small but will add up to making a huge difference.” – Nicola Lines, Marketing Assistant

“I enjoy being part of the team because we can all bring our individual areas of interest together to benefit the whole business. We’re in a great position regarding eliminating waste and maximising recycling, but we’re always striving to do more. I enjoy that challenge." – Jonathan Carr, Sector Manager (Utilities)

Did you know?

Our dispatch team aim to pack your orders in as much reused packaging as possible to reduce waste while protecting your products. 

Over the last few months, we’ve also placed battery and print cartridge recycling points over the office. We’ve also upgraded our lighting to LED bulbs – reducing our energy usage which is great for the environment!  

How will this benefit me as a customer?

We know that looking after the environment is important for our customers.

We are currently exploring all the ways we can improve as a business while continuing to deliver the best customer service possible. We want to make it easier for you to access our resources, dispose of our packaging and improve your on site experience at the Europa offices!

What to expect next?

We’re currently investigating ways to make our packaging more sustainable, informing our suppliers of best environmental practices and ways to make our offices more eco-friendly!
