Wave Staffing Environmental Policy Statement

At Wave Staffing, we are committed to operating as a responsible business and minimising our environmental impact across all aspects of our operations. Our environmental policy is built on the following key principles and actions:

Office Sustainability

• Solar-Powered Office: Our office building utilises solar panels to generate renewable energy, reducing our reliance on non-renewable power sources and lowering our carbon emissions.

• Paper Reduction: We have implemented strict paper-saving measures, including digital documentation and electronic communication, which significantly reduces paper usage in both our office and service logistics.

• Email Invoicing: All invoicing is conducted via email, further minimising our paper consumption and supporting a digital-first approach.

Sustainable Transport

• Hybrid Minibus Fleet: For staff transportation, especially to events outside Oxford city, we operate a fleet of hybrid minibuses. This approach cuts emissions compared to traditional vehicles and supports cleaner air in our communities.

• Eco-Friendly Staff Commuting: When staff are working within Oxford city centre, we actively encourage the use of electric buses and cycling. This not only reduces our environmental footprint but also aligns with Oxford’s clean air initiatives.

Digital and IT Commitments

• Green Web Hosting: Our websites are hosted in environmentally responsible server environments, ensuring our digital footprint is as sustainable as possible.

Local Sourcing and Partnerships

• Working with Oxford-Based Suppliers: We prioritise collaboration with suppliers and partners based in Oxford. This local approach reduces transportation emissions and supports the regional economy, further decreasing our overall carbon footprint.

Continuous Improvement

• We regularly review and update our environmental practices to ensure compliance with current legislation and best practice standards, and to strive for continual improvement in sustainability.

Conclusion

By embedding these principles into our daily operations, Wave Staffing demonstrates a genuine commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainable business growth. We believe that these actions not only benefit the planet but also create a positive impact for our clients, staff, and the wider Oxfordshire community.
