Responsibility<\/h2>\n

The Velair Corporate and Social Responsibility Policy 2020<\/h3>\n

Our aim is to reduce our environmental impact, and to contribute towards social responsibility, particularly in the areas of our social, economic and environmental choices. We take this position as a business, as an employer of staff whose actions can make a positive contribution in this regard, and as a procurer of goods and services.<\/p>\n

The term \u2018social responsibility\u2019 covers all areas of corporate social responsibility, including (but not limited to) environmental, technical, economic and social issues.<\/p>\n

Partnering with Planet Mark<\/h3>\n

We\u2019re furthering our sustainability commitment by becoming Planet Mark certified through measuring and reducing our carbon footprint. Planet Mark is an internationally recognised sustainability certification that recognises continuous improvement, encourages action and builds an empowered community of like-minded individuals who make a world of difference.<\/p>\n

In this crucial Decade of Action, we want to ensure that we are a force for good: positively transforming society and the planet by measuring our own impact on the environment. Over the next year we will be working towards reducing our carbon emissions, and we want to share this journey with our community to encourage others to join us.<\/p>\n

Through Planet Mark we are protecting an area of endangered rainforest thanks to Cool Earth; a charity working alongside rainforest communities to halt deforestation. Our pledge through Cool Earth<\/a> goes directly towards supporting the Ash\u00e1ninka community in Central Peru. Through our commitment to Planet Mark we are also helping the Eden Project<\/a> \u2013 an educational charity building connections with each other and the living world, exploring how we can work together towards a better future.<\/p>\n

Each and every one of you plays an important role in our sustainability commitments, and Planet Mark will help to embed sustainability in our business culture so that we can make continual progress. We look forward to sharing our sustainability achievements with the wider community. We encourage you to get in touch if you have any questions, suggestions or would like to get involved.<\/p>\n

SafeSupplier Verification<\/h2>\n

Velair has been awarded verification from Alcumus<\/a> SafeSupplier for demonstrating their ethical, environmental and financial credentials, to help clients assess compliance within their supply chain.<\/p>\n

SafeSupplier offers a robust, streamlined, consistent and effective supplier on-boarding and management solution, that demonstrates supplier compliance to regulatory requirements, international standards and industry best practice in the supply chain.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s application for SafeSupplier verification was driven by their desire to demonstrate the highest standards in health and safety, quality, ethical best practices and responsible growth.<\/p>\n

More companies need to understand the importance of adopting good risk management in the way that Velair has done. The firm\u2019s high standard has set an example which hopefully will be followed by other companies within the sector.<\/p>\n
