About this policy

iSTRATEGY Consulting is committed to protecting the environment, the health and safety of our employees, and the community in which we conduct our business. It is our policy to seek continual improvement throughout our business operations to lessen our impact on the local and global environment by conserving energy, water and other natural resources; reducing waste generation; recycling and; reducing our use of toxic materials. We are committed to environmental excellence and pollution prevention, meeting or exceeding all environmental regulatory requirements, and to purchasing products which have greater recycled content with lower toxicity and packaging, that reduce the use of natural resources.

​

From time to time we may amend, remove or vary this policy without notice. Check this page regularly to take notice of any changes we may have made to this policy.

 

Environmentally Preferable Purchasing (EPP) Policy

The goal of this policy is to ensure that products and services purchased or contracted for conform to the goals of our company’s environmental policy. We will strive, where feasible, to purchase environmentally preferable products and services to meet the company’s office and operational needs.  We will also favour suppliers who strive to improve their environmental performance, provide environmentally preferable products, and who can document the supply chain impacts of their efforts.

 

Wherever possible, purchasing decisions will favour products that:

• reduce greenhouse gas emissions

• are made with renewable energy

• reduce pollution from all discharges (releases to air, water, and land)

• reduce the use of toxic materials hazardous to the environment, employees and public health

• contain the highest possible percentage of post-consumer recycled content

• reduce packaging and other waste

• are energy efficient

• conserve water

• are reusable and/or durable

• minimise transportation (local sources, concentrated products)

• serve several functions (examples: copiers/printers, multipurpose cleaners) to reduce the number of products purchased.

 

Environmentally preferable products and services that are comparable in quality to their standard counterparts will receive a purchasing preference. In situations where the most environmentally preferable product is unavailable or impractical, secondary considerations will include production methods and the environmentally and socially responsible management practices of suppliers and producers. Environmentally preferable purchasing is part of our long term commitment to the environment. By sending a clear signal to producers and suppliers about this commitment, we hope to support wider adoption of environmentally preferable products and practices.
