Environmental Sustainability Policy Statement

Innovatus Drinks aims to conduct our activities and operations to reflect best environmental and sustainability practice and seek innovative ways of meeting environmental objectives through a commitment to continual improvement.

These include:

To meet and, where appropriate exceed all relevant UK, European and international legislative and regulatory requirements and agreements
To review all our operations in order to identify, understand and evaluate all the direct and indirect environmental aspects and effects, and prioritise action to address them
To reduce energy and resource consumption
To influence our suppliers to support sustainable practices
To raise awareness of environmentally responsible practices
To prevent pollution
To prevent unnecessary and avoidable travel
To avoid the use of toxic materials
To consider the sustainability issues behind all our actions, taking into consideration not just the environmental and economic effects, but the social and ethical implications in equal measure

We aim to achieve these objectives by making incremental changes to the way we operate, through education and training of our staff and by developing a long term strategic plan to reduce our environmental impact.

In our choice of raw materials we will:

Always choose the most sustainable option possible within the budget
Utilise reused or repurposed materials and recycled materials wherever possible
Where virgin materials are required, use materials from sustainable sources and with lower environmental impact (e.g. FSC certified timber, sustainably sourced fabrics, low VOC paints)
Ensure that all materials used are recyclable where possible, in standard local collection & recycling systems
We will always look into the sustainability of our supply chain and ask questions of our suppliers about the ethical/sustainable credentials of their products.

To reduce the Carbon Footprint of our operations, we will:

Utilise local suppliers and local storage wherever possible, to reduce the Carbon Footprint of transport
Utilise recycled materials, reducing the Carbon Footprint of manufacture
