Assessing Environmental Risks and Impacts
Social Pinpoint utilises “Green Audits” on a regular basis to assess its environmental impacts and risks. A selection of Green Audit activities includes:
Volume of the waste and recycling produced is monitored on a periodic basis
Walkthrough audits are also undertaken outside core business hours (from 6pm onwards) and sought to establish the manner in which employees leave electronic equipment at the end of the day.
Minimising Resource Consumption and Waste
Social Pinpoint does not consume extensive energy and water in the provision of services, but does ensure that internal policies are in place to support minimal consumption. Some examples of this program in place are:
Cleaning products used are bio-degradable and phosphate free
Minimal use of printing and paper
Use of reusable beverage cups to minimise disposable cup waste
Use of recycled paper
Screensavers in place on all computers
Use of natural light where practical and ensuring lights are turned off in areas not in use.
Social Pinpoint endeavours to reduce waste, by encouraging material efficiency, reducing the generation of waste, and enabling the recovery and reuse of discarded material.
