Environment
Mission Statement
Flightwise Joinery Limited recognises that it has a responsibility to the environment beyond legal and regulatory requirements. We are committed to reducing our environmental impact and continually improving our environmental performance as an integral part of our business strategy and operating methods, with regular review points. We encourage customers, suppliers and other stakeholders to do the same.
Wood (Sourcing and disposal of Bi Products)
All timber and timber derived products are purchased from approved suppliers, these suppliers have demonstrated responsible and sustainable sourcing procedures, the vast majority of our timber is FSC® certified (FSC® C020683).
Native forests not only yield beautiful timbers but are essential to the future of our planet, providing us with clean water through natural filtration and clean air by removing pollution and producing oxygen. Timber is harvested from the same native forests over and over again. These forests continue to provide us with timber because no more timber is cut than the forest can re-grow. We must value these facts and appreciate the biodiversity contained in these habitats.
We at Flightwise are proud to be able to boast a near zero waste footprint. All of our surplus / off cuts of wood is recycled in the following ways:
- Clean wood waste is recycled for animal bedding.
- Our hardwood and unsalable shavings and dust are all burned to provide heating for our factory thus lowering the impact on the environment by using green fuels.
- Our general wood waste is recycled for conversion into kindling and or domestic firewood.
Paper Products and Recycled Packaging We have a policy to re-use and recycle all paper where possible. Our waste paper is recycled by burning together with all other combustible items to help heat our factory. We request wherever possible that all of our goods received have minimum packaging, so as to reduce waste whilst still leaving the product protected. Similarly the packaging on our deliveries is minimal.
Energy Lights and electrical equipment are always switched off when not in use. We use energy efficient appliances wherever possible, consumption and efficiency of new products will always be taken into account at the time of purchase.
Transportation All of our deliveries are assessed, and the means of delivery selected is dependent upon the load thus reducing our carbon footprint further.
Responsibility The managing director is responsible for ensuring that the environmental policy is implemented. However all employees have a responsibility in their area to ensure that the aims and objectives of the policy are met.
