Green Policy and Sustainability at Lift Turn Move Ltd

Lift Turn Move Ltd recognises that as a company our work may have a direct or indirect impact on the local, regional and global environment. We are committed to minimising our negative impacts and acting in a sustainable way, meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

Of all our activities we are aware that our printing activities are the area with the greatest environmental impacts, and we have taken steps to reduce these impacts and encourage our customers to do so as well.

Waste Reduction:

We try to eliminate waste at source and some of the ways we do this is:

The use of electronic communications - unless our customers request otherwise we send all our quotes, invoices and other communications via email. This saves on both paper and also carbon miles for postage
It is company policy that any document that does need to be printed is done where possible in draft format to use the as little waste ink as possible
We reuse paper where possible – printing on both sides and using the waste paper as packing.

Recycling:

We recycle whenever possible.

At the end of its practical life any hardware is cleared of information and passed to the local Environ office, or equivalent, to be refurbished or used as parts.

Purchasing:

Like all companies our purchasing decisions are influenced by cost, however this by no means our only consideration, and we make a conscious effort to ensure we are buying from sustainable sources which are local if possible.

We do not purchase new packaging materials but reuse packaging for all deliveries of goods
Wherever possible we try and purchase goods and services locally, to help the local economy and to reduce carbon miles

Travel:

At Lift Turn Move Ltd we have undertaken a commitment to make our travel as green as possible.

The outside Sales team member who does the most mileage uses a hybrid vehicle to reduce emissions. Wherever possible this vehicle is used to attend meetings
We combine shipments of goods where ever possible, to reduce our mileage, and subsequently our carbon emissions
Whenever possible members of staff work from home, with the majority of in-house conversations taking place by email
Travelling to exhibitions or visits using public transport in the form of buses or trains whenever possible

Energy Usage:

All our computers and electronic equipment and switched off every night, saving energy

Our commitment to the community:

At Lift Turn Move Ltd we believe it is important to support our local community and where possible we link with other local businesses to provide our services.

We also believe that education is important and have undertaken a wide range of work within the local community including involvement in training courses for local colleges who are involved in the use of our lifting products in entertainment applications,

We have employed and trained 3 apprentices so far. We are currently searching for another young person to undergo a full electrical technical apprenticeship

Our commitment to helping our clients:

At Lift Turn Move Ltd we believe in offering sound well thought of advice. If we receive enquiries for example for electrical equipment that we feel can be solved using manual equipment we will offer our thoughts, usually with offers for low and higher cost solutions.

We support our clients with maintenance and servicing either at LTM or on site- saving truck miles to deliver equipment here.
