It is more important than ever for businesses to strive to operate in an environmentally sustainable way. Many in the scientific community believe we are approaching a tipping point in which irreversible damage will be done to our planet. Sustainability focuses on meeting the needs of the present without compromising on those who will live in the future.
Sanokil has a commitment to reducing our environmental footprint. As a national company, we believe that we have an important role to play for the environment we operate within and the people who live here.
Over the years we have made many changes to become as sustainable in our operations as we can. The changes include swapping our products for more sustainable ones and changing how we service your business sites. A benefit of this is that when we service your business we can reduce your carbon footprint too!
Firstly, if you get your toilet paper or hand towels from us, you are getting sustainably sourced paper. All our paper products are endorsed by The Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC). This comes from an international organisation that gives certifications for sustainable forest management.
Our bin liners are also more environmentally friendly than competitors as they are degradable. Our urinal mats work great in both flushing and waterless urinals an we recently switched from aerosol air fresheners to fan operated units. This results in less air pollution.
We plan our service runs in a logical way that results in less time on the road. We are going towards being paperless within our offices by incorporating digital forms and emails to replace much of the paper that we would otherwise use.
Our head office and warehouse is also covered in solar panels – meaning that we are greatly reducing our carbon footprint from energy use.
We hope that we can work together to lower waste and increase sustainability.
