The City of London have awarded Devonshires a Platinum Award for their achievements in waste management, waste minimisation, reuse and recycling.
There are over 1650 business sites participating in the Clean City Awards Scheme and Platinum Awards are presented to the top ten performing sites in each category - Small, Medium and Large. The Platinum Award is one grade higher than the Gold Award that Devonshires won in 2008.
Devonshires have continued to recycle via The Corporation of London, New Leaf, and International Technology Products and worked hard to ensure external suppliers have solid and effective recycling policies in place. Items such as paper, card, glass, toner cartridges, mobiles, computer equipment and furniture have all been recycled and certification provided. Deliveries of goods have been kept to a minimum and the firm have recently moved to new offices that are considerably more energy efficient than their previous space. For example, the lighting in the majority of the new offices is on PIR timers (Passive Infrared) set at 30 minutes.
Following a rebrand in 2009 all of the firm’s letter headed paper and marketing material is now printed on environmentally friendly paper. Pencils used in the firm’s meeting rooms are recycled from old newspapers, with the drinking water used in the rooms filtered and bottled on site to reduce waste.
Despite the firm receiving the Gold Award in 2008 and the Platinum Award in 2009 the Environmental Policy is already being reviewed with plans to make improvements and modifications wherever possible throughout 2010.
