Sustainability
OUR VISION FOR THE FUTURE
Since our inception in 2014 Santis Global has understood the importance of corporate responsibility and the environmental impact of our business.
We have therefore committed to not only promote sustainable solutions throughout our own supply chain, but to also encourage change for our partners and clients to help them do the same.
Through committed and rigorous self evaluation we have analysed how we can improve our processes to put less strain on our planet. Our aim is to set an example for the rest of the industry as drivers for actionable change towards a more sustainable future.
ENGAGING WITH SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
The Shared Value proposition plays an important role in all of our environmental protection activities. Shared Value is about strengthening our market position by engaging in social and environmental issues and integrating these into our core business.
Our diverse range of carbon efficiency measures and sustainable services not only benefit society and the environment, but also create value for us and our customers. Saving on fuel or electricity, for example, also means lower operating costs over the long term, which is why investments in green technologies pay off.
Sustainable Improvements
AROUND OUR OFFICE
1. GREEN COMMUTING
Research by the Carbon Trust suggests that allowing people to work from home in the UK could save more than 3 million tonnes of carbon a year. We are therefore championing alternative working arrangements including working from home. For those who travel to work we encourage green commuting, such as walking or riding a bike. In order to support this, as part of our employee benefit plan we offer our employees the Bike 2 Work scheme.
2. BRING A DESK PLANT INITIATIVE
3. REMOVING UNNECESSARY PLASTIC USE
4. BEING SMART WITH PAPER
5. RECYCLING
6. CREATION OF OUR GREEN TEAM
Environmental Goals
By the year 2030 we want to reduce all logistics-related emissions to zero. Re-inventing transport & logistics services to become emissions neutral in the next decade is clearly a huge challenge for the team at Santis Global. But we are optimistic that we can achieve this goal – with the help of new technologies, the dedication and expertise of our employees and through collaboration with our customers and partners.
