Environmental Policy

Ark Design Lab is committed to the highest standards of business responsibility and integrity and we recognise that effective management of environmental issues is a key part of a successful business. 

TAKING A STRATEGIC APPROACH TO ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT

We will take a strategic approach to managing environ1nental risks and opportunities. We will implement and maintain an environmental management system which conforms to the requirements of the international ISO 14001:2015 standard, taking into account the context in which we operate and the needs and expectations our stakeholders. Our management syste1n will be regularly verified by exten1al auditors. 

MANAGING RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES 

We can affect the environment through the operation of our business and across the life cycle of our products and services. We also recognise that our business can be affected by physical environmental conditions as well as social, political, policy and market factors relating to environ1nental management. These impacts can be positive and negative, posing both risks and opportunities for our company. 

We will identify the significant risks and opportunities for our business related to environmental issues, and manage them effectively.

We will comply with all applicable environmental legislation and any other obligations we take on voluntarily, including codes of conduct, contractual arrangements and any otl1er requirements we choose  to adopt. We will act to prevent environ1nental damage and pollution and aim to have a positive environmental impact where we can. 

CONTINOUS IMPROVEMENT 

We will set objectives and targets for ongoing continuous ilnprove1nent of the environmental performance and management across our operations, and where we have control or influence, across the life cycle of our products and services.
