1. Introduction
EEW Design Limited (“EEW Design”, “we”, “us”) is committed to reducing avoidable environmental impact and promoting responsible working practices across our creative, digital, video and print-management services.
This Environmental Policy explains how we manage environmental considerations in our operations, supplier choices and project delivery.
2. Purpose and scope
This policy applies to:
our studio operations;
remote working and business travel;
digital production and file management;
print, production and physical materials procured for client projects;
suppliers, freelancers and contractors working with or for EEW Design; and
day-to-day decisions that affect energy use, waste, transport and procurement.
3. Our environmental commitments
We aim to:
comply with applicable environmental laws and regulations;
reduce waste and avoid unnecessary use of materials;
use energy and resources efficiently;
reduce avoidable travel and transport emissions;
consider lower-impact print and production choices where feasible;
work with suppliers who take environmental responsibilities seriously; and
review and improve our approach over time.
4. Practical operational commitments
EEW Design takes a proportionate approach to reducing avoidable environmental impact. Our practical operational commitments include:
using remote meetings by default where appropriate to reduce unnecessary travel;
using digital proofing and electronic approval workflows wherever suitable;
recommending FSC, recycled or responsibly sourced paper stocks where print is required and suitable for the project;
considering print quantities carefully to reduce avoidable waste;
considering supplier environmental credentials when selecting relevant printers, production partners and specialist suppliers;
using renewable electricity where available and practical;
reducing unnecessary equipment, packaging and production waste;
preferring low-carbon travel options where travel is necessary and practical;
maintaining a simple environmental log or review record where required for contract or tender monitoring; and
reviewing environmental practices periodically.
5. Energy and resource use
We seek to reduce energy and resource use by:
using remote and digital working tools where appropriate;
switching off equipment when not in use;
using energy-efficient devices and lighting where feasible;
minimising unnecessary printing and physical proofs;
storing files efficiently and deleting unnecessary duplicates where appropriate; and
using renewable or lower-carbon energy options where available and practical.
6. Waste reduction and recycling
We seek to reduce waste by:
prioritising digital workflows and approvals where suitable;
avoiding unnecessary printed materials;
reusing packaging and office materials where practical;
recycling paper, card, packaging and electronic waste through appropriate channels; and
encouraging clients to consider print quantities carefully to avoid overproduction.
7. Sustainable procurement
Where we procure goods or services, we consider environmental factors alongside cost, quality, timing and client requirements. This may include:
recycled or FSC-certified paper stocks where available;
vegetable-based inks or lower-impact production methods where offered by printers;
print suppliers with credible environmental credentials;
local suppliers where this reduces transport impact without compromising quality; and
digital alternatives where physical production is not necessary.
8. Print and production projects
For print-management and production work, we will, where relevant and practicable:
discuss sustainable stock, finish and production options with clients;
avoid unnecessary proofs, samples and courier journeys;
recommend realistic print quantities;
consider recyclable or lower-impact materials; and
encourage responsible disposal or recycling of materials at end of life.
Final choices may depend on budget, brand requirements, technical suitability, client preferences and supplier availability.
9. Travel and meetings
We aim to reduce avoidable travel by:
using video calls and remote collaboration tools where appropriate;
combining meetings or site visits where possible;
using public transport where practical; and
considering lower-emission travel options where feasible.
10. Biodiversity and local environment
Although our operations have limited direct impact on biodiversity, we aim to:
avoid activities that knowingly harm local habitats;
support responsible suppliers and production methods;
reduce waste and pollution risk; and
consider biodiversity impacts where physical production, packaging or events are involved.
11. Responsibilities
The Director is responsible for maintaining this policy and ensuring environmental considerations are taken into account in business decisions.
Everyone working with or for EEW Design is expected to:
use resources responsibly;
avoid unnecessary waste;
follow agreed environmental practices; and
raise suggestions for practical improvements.
12. Review and contact
This policy is reviewed periodically and updated where needed to reflect changes in our business, suppliers, services or environmental good practice.
