RJ Workspace is committed to sustainability and the environment. We strive to produce office furniture in the most environmentally responsible manner.
Our commitment is formalised with our ISO14001 EMS certification and the GECA labels for our signature products Epicentre, RTculate and TokTok.
As part of our Environmental Management System we are committed to constantly improve our environmental practices year on year and ensure that we maintain a balance between the environment, people and our business. Global Mark will conduct external audits as required to ensure we maintain certification standards. A copy of our EMS policy is available on this website.
Energy and WaterReduce energy and water use in all aspects of the existing business and prefer technologies that enhance energy and water conservation when replacing or upgrading systems. |
Waste ManagementReduce waste at source in all operations, encourage creative 'reduce/reuse/recycle' of waste materials generated and if necessary dispose of any unavoidable wastes safely. |
Compliance and regulationAdhere to environmental laws and regulations and where feasible exceed levels of compliance. |
DesignDesign to ensure that every product is evaluated on its environmental impact over its full life; generally known as a Life Cycle Analysis (LCA). This covers materials, manufacturing, emissions, waste, re-use and refurbishment, ease of disassembly and recyclability. |
PackagingWhere feasible, packaging such as boxes is to be returned and reused. Use of reusable packaging like blankets is actively encouraged. Until packaging materials like plastic have been eliminated, every care to return it to source for reuse or recycling is taken. |
Communication and reportingEducate staff and contractors about our Environmental Management System. |
Risk assessment, pollution prevention, environmental protectionAssess the impacts of all business activities on the environment and develop responses to all areas of concern including emergency situations. |
External collaborationBuild relationships with companies that demonstrate strong environmental standards and ensure that suppliers and contractors conduct business in an environmentally responsible manner. |
Accountability and monitoringSupport staff, suppliers and contractors in the implementation of our environmental policies. Set environmental objectives and targets, and hold all individuals accountable for performance and measurement results. Use regularly conducted internal audits to measure performance on an ongoing basis. |
End of LifeAs part of our Product Stewardship we undertake to assist customers in implementing an environmentally responsible way of disposing of our products at the end of their useful life for reuse or recycling. |
TransportationOptimise both incoming and outgoing shipments to minimise the cost of freight and the impact on the environment. |
