| In
a time of increasing ecological and ethical awareness, Theme
Traders is dedicated to a policy of social responsibility in all
areas of operation and is constantly seeking new ways to make positive
changes where we can strive to reduce our environmental impact.
Theme
Traders
also offer opportunities for our clients to participate, support our local
community, and champion many non-profit organisations. Through this approach
Theme Traders is
working in an ecologically and ethically responsible way, and continues
to develop this daily by employing a number of different environmentally
friendly systems, and is constantly updating and adapting to meet growing
demand for an eco-friendly corporate world, some of the methods we practice
are:
- ENERGY
EFFICIENCY - Our company premises are as energy efficient as possible,
we also offer the option of LED lighting. Timers are installed for heating
and lighting systems. We have switched to Energy Saving light-bulbs
wherever possible.
- RECYCLING
- Our entire company recycles paper, employs a waste reduction
system for larger items and also recycles used batteries.
By
the nature of Theme Traders, as a hire company, we are regenerating
and reusing products everyday.
- FUEL - Our fleet of vehicles run off alternatives to full leaded
fuel.
- PLANT-A-TREE
SCHEME - A new opportunity we are delighted to be
able to offer our clients is a fresh idea–where on request, we plant,
care for and dedicate a tree for you at our farm (terms and conditions
apply).
- WASTE PRE-
TREATMENT - On bulk waste all relevant items are separated and pre-sorted.
- CARBON
FOOTPRINT - We are conscious of reducing and balancing
our carbon footprint, currently maintaining over 2000 mature trees
and are growing another 950. Each tree breathes in 73kg of carbon
over 100 years. Trees include Oak, Ash, Maple, Alder, & Hazel.
- COMMUNITY
CARE
- Our local community is extremely important us at Theme
Traders, and we endeavour to support it where ever we can. From the
use of many local suppliers and services, many within walking distance,
to the backing of local schools and arts groups. Many of our employees
live locally and when demand is high, we use local hire companies
to assist us.
- TEAM
CARE
- Along with local community welfare is our team welfare,
a group of tight-knit people. The family feel is engendered by a wide
range of social outings and educational programmes.
- CHARITY
- Pod Charitable Trust is Theme Traders’ preferred
charity, who we support whole-heartedly, even sponsoring it’s
30th Anniversary Ball this year. We also support many other charities
and non-profit organisations throughout our work, including the Cricklewood
Homeless Project, and offer discounted rates and charity packages
where we can.
- CYCLE
TO WORK
- Theme Traders offers a ‘Cycle to Work’ scheme
as part of our environmental friendly approach.
- CONSULTATION
-
Regular meetings with entire company to brainstorm ideas
to enhance our Corporate Social Responsibility Policy.
- LOCAL
EMPLOYMENT
- With regional offices and projects, Theme Traders will
endeavour to employ within the local community
