  • environmental policy.

    We aim to follow the Government's Environment and Greener Living policy frameworks for recycling and waste management.

    Whilst conforming to all existing environmental regulations, laws and codes of practice, we regard these as setting the minimum standards of performance and will strive to do more.

    Aslan is committed to minimising the impact of its operations on the environment by means of a program of continuous improvement.

    Where ever possible, offer our clients assistance with making their projects more sustainable by sourcing and incorporating eco-friendly products in our design.

    Aslan Internal Operations

    Aslan has only a very small office presence and our office operations are managed to minimise environmental impact where possible. Energy consumption and the use of consumables are monitored. We aim to minimise pollution and waste and to recycle wherever possible.

    As part of our annual business review processes, our office operations are also reviewed so that we can continuously improve our environmental performance.

    We believe that creating and maintaining a sustainable company will have a positive influence. Over the past 2 decades, we have actively pursued waste reduction and recycling.

    Environmental Policy of Our Studio

    Reduce energy use through by minimising studio equipment and lighting

    Reduce energy use of electrical applications, computers, monitors, office equipment and lighting by turning off if anticipated non-use is more than 5 minutes, where practicable

    Recycle all studio equipment, waste, lighting

    Reduce our use of products not absolutely necessary including plastics and other non-renewable

    Avoid unnecessary use of hazardous materials and products, seeking substitutions when feasible, and taking all reasonable steps to protect human health and the environment when such materials must be used, stored and disposed of

    Consign waste for re-use where practicable

    Use low carbon and organic products and services including cleaning products, buying bulk supplies to reduce packaging and transport emissions

    Travel by public transport wherever practicable, thus minimising the need for use of transport facilities.

    Supply full and thorough information on our environmental policy to any interested parties

    Integrate environmental concerns in our day to day decision making

    Actively seek to make improvements in our environmental control

    Environmental Policy Outside Our Studio

    Require where applicable all of our paper suppliers to certify that paper/timber is from sustainable forest not from rain forest where practicable

    Encourage our suppliers to implement environmentally sound policies and show preference to those suppliers so doing

    Low Carbon Energy

    At present we use electricity purchased from renewal sources (25%). As of mid August our studio will operate with the following:

    Install 1.5 gigabyte Solar power system aiming to produce 50% to 100% studio electricity usage. This figure varies according to power generated due to seasonal fluctuations and office usage.

    Electricity generated and not used goes into grid thus supplying green power to grid

    Any electricity purchased comes from green power (100% renewal sources)

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Print Services

    We offer 3 types of printing

    1. Standard printing with carbon offsets - standard printing with carbon offsets at no charge*

    2. Bulk priced printing with the option to purchase carbon offsets

    standard paper stocks

    100% recycled stock is made from 100% post consumer waste and is uncoated

    3. Specialty printing with carbon offsets - specialty finishes with the option to purchase carbon offsets

    What we mean by printing with
    carbon offsets

    Fully offset means the entire life cycle - from the emissions made by producing and transporting the raw materials, to the printing process itself, to the eventual recycling or disposal of the product at the end of its life. See below for explanation of Scopes 1, 2 and 3

    Measure and neutralise the carbon emissions from your print job, throughout the entire supply chain

    Sourcing paper from responsibly managed forests (FSC and PEFC certified)

    Use suppliers who hold ISO 14001 Environmental Management certification

    Scope 1 - Direct GHG Emissions

    Scope 1 carbon emissions are "direct emissions" in that they come from plant and equipment and processes that are directly owned or controlled by the business itself. They may occur as part of the everyday running of the business. These emissions may be:

    from combustion for on-site heating or cooling

    emissions from food preparation and cooking, e.g. gas stoves or ovens

    combustion for back-up power generation (e.g. a diesel powered generator or UPS)

    emissions from fuel for company owned vehicles

    refrigerant gases (called fugitive emissions)

    fire extinguishers etc.

    Scope 2 - Electricity Indirect GHG Emissions

    Scope 2 carbon emissions are "indirect emissions" and are typically from the generation of purchased electricity consumed by the business.

    Scope 3 - Other Indirect GHG Emissions

    Scope 3 carbon emissions are additional indirect emissions that are outside of the business� control and indirectly contribute to the running of the business. These emissions look broader into the actions and processes that are required for a business to function, but would otherwise be invisible. For example, emissions from:

    waste, waste removal and transportation

    the extraction and production of purchased materials, e.g. recycled paper production, forestry and      wood pulp production, paper manufacturing, emissions from soy-based ink manufacture

    employee travel to and from work

    hire cars, taxis, air and rail travel for business purposes

    accommodation for business purposes, e.g. in hotels

    transportation of materials to the business, e.g. paper deliveries

    deliveries to the business by road, rail and air

    the storage of materials or finished goods

    transportation of finished goods from the business

    outsourced activities

    Unless all scopes are covered you cannot achieve "true" Carbon neutrality.

     

    Web hosting services

    At present we are formulating a carbon offset strategy for our internet services including data centre carbon offsets.
