About us

Environment

DVC International's goals are to:

• Ensure the safety of its products and operations for the environment.
  
   
• Exercise the same concern for the environment wherever we operate.
  
   
• Develop innovative products and processes which reduce levels of environmental impact and develop methods of packaging which combine effective protection and presentation with the conservation of raw materials and convenient, environmentally appropriate disposal.
  
   
• Reduce waste, conserve energy and explore opportunities for re-use and recycling.

To achieve these goals, we will:

• Assess the environmental impacts of all our business activities from research, through manufacture, distribution, use and disposal.
  
   
• Apply more stringent criteria than those required by law when we believe this to be appropriate.
  
   
• Use standards of environmental impact assessment which are robust, scientifically sound and generally acceptable within the present state of knowledge, at the same time attempting to develop superior methods and to improve on current practice.
  
   
• Develop and apply systems of environmental management, as part of day-to-day operational practice and on-going management reporting and control procedures.
  
   
• Encourage our suppliers to develop environmentally superior processes and components and co-operate with other members of the supply chain to improve overall environmental performance.
  
   
• Work with industry bodies, government agencies, business partners and other concerned organisations, to promote environmental care, increase knowledge and disseminate best practice.
  
   
• Remain alert and responsive to developing issues, knowledge and public concerns.
