Environmental Policy

Commons Hardware is a member of Repak. Repak is an industry funded organisation whose aim it is to facilitate and grow packaging recycling. Based on the principle of producer responsibility, Repak was established to help businesses meet their legal obligations to fund the recovery and recycling of the packaging on the goods or services they supply, as set out in the Waste Management (Packaging) Regulations 2007.

Our policy provides a framework for setting and reviewing environmental objectives and targets.

Commons Hardware is committed to the policy of continual improvement of environmental performance and best environmental practice as far as is economically achievable.

Environmental Targets

The Commons Hardware policy of being environmentally responsible requires us to set and maintain targets which allow us to assess our environmental performance continually - on behalf of our customers, our staff, and our shareholders.

Carbon Management

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the main 'greenhouse' gas responsible for global warming and climate change and Commons Hardware are a company committed to playing our part in reducing carbon emissions through the monitoring of, and purchasing of those products which utilise the best industrial practices.

Waste Management

Industrial, commercial and household waste amounts to many million of tones annually and is likely to continue to increase unless measures are taken corporately and individually.

At Commons Hardware we are committed to reducing the amount of waste produced in the course of our business activity and to increasing the amount of waste that we recycle or recover.

Pollution Management

We are constantly ensuring that our trading activities have no negative effect on the environment or to the individuals and industries in our proximity to our Showroom and warehousing.
