Antalis signs up to Green Achiever scheme
Distributor of paper, envelopes, packaging materials and signage products, Antalis has signed up to the Green Achiever scheme.
A business or organisation interested in becoming a Green Achiever, developed by E4 environment, starts by registering for free at www.greenachiever.co.uk, then completes a questionnaire to outline its responsibilities and receives a listing in the Green Achiever online directory. The first level is self-assessment, which includes a declaration of environmental commitment. Silver is the next and demonstrates positive action taken in the way it cares for the environment. The highest level, gold, is attained following an extensive environmental audit.
Matthew Botfield, environment manager at Antalis said: "We have always demonstrated a basic environmental awareness, so joining the Green Achiever scheme will enable us to spread our wings within the green domain. It allows us to show businesses and potential customers that we too are doing our bit to help the environment. The scheme provides a great reason to network with other businesses, engage with their product and service offerings and understand how they consider the environment every step of the way enabling us to do the same at Antalis. Green Achiever is a very positive step forward with realistic, sustainable targets set by us that our customers and suppliers can understand."
Mandy Stoker, Director at E4 environment, said: "Everyone's talking about the government's environmental policies and how our behaviour and neglect is leading to changes in the climate. The public is becoming increasingly vocal about what they expect from retailers and manufacturers, for example, less packaging and more recyclable products and packaging, as well as services and products that are environmentally friendly. Over 40 businesses a month now register with Green Achiever from a range of sectors and varying sizes including retail, IT, manufacturing and professional services sole traders, SMEs and large corporations."
