Dealers can now access Toshiba TEC's Carbon Zero Scheme
Toshiba TEC UK Imaging Systems is inviting authorised dealerships to sign up to its Carbon Zero Scheme.
Toshiba TEC launched the pioneering Carbon Zero scheme in 2009, with the aim of helping end users to reduce their environmental impact by offsetting all the carbon generated in the manufacturing and shipping of its products.
In addition to this highly successful product centered scheme, Toshiba will achieve PAS2060 Carbon Neutrality status for its entire UK operation following an independent audit next month and has committed to achieving a further 2% reduction in its own emissions over the following twelve months.
By inviting dealers to participate directly in the scheme, Toshiba is offering a ready-made Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) policy. It is also putting them in a stronger position to tender for new business with larger corporate clients, who value this initiative in suppliers.
Jeremy Spencer, Marketing Director at Toshiba TEC says: "Signing up to this programme is an extremely simple process. Dealers complete a series of spreadsheets audited by co2balance UK Ltd, which they complete with details of their company's gas and electricity usage, water and waste data, business travel and accommodation. They are then given recommendations on how they can reduce their carbon footprint and ongoing energy costs."
When a full carbon footprint has been established for a dealership, co2balance supplies and retires the required carbon credits on their behalf in the approved international register. Dealers then receive a certificate recognising them as a CarbonZero business and they can use the associated branding for marketing purposes over the following 12 months.
