OUR ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY

Working in the animation industry, we know that the things we produce will have an impact on the environment. As part of our production process we always consider the wider implications that our production decisions will have – not just now but into the future. Our activities have an impact on the environment and we feel the need to consider ways within we can conserve energy and minimize our waste.

We still have a way to go, but as a business we are committed to make sure that dyrdee is environmentally sustainable and creates environmentally sustainable services. Part of this is that we have developed an environmental action plan, where we can define (and share) the actions we are taking.

We are dedicated to improve our environmental performance through:

+ Integrating environmental factors into our decision making processes

+ Comply with all relevant environmental legislation

+ Continually monitor and improve our environmental performance by creating a shared  environmental action plan

+ Increase environmental awareness amongst employees and clients

+ We use electricity in a responsible way and switch off any electrical items when not in use by implementing an auto log-off system

Waste management and recycling

Transportation

+ We often work remotely and encourage client meetings to be online if they are not local to us

+ When we are required to attend client meetings, public transport, green transport or access by foot is encouraged whenever possible

Goods and services
