Environmental policy

Our sustainability commitment

This policy applies to all activities undertaken by the Charity Retail Association and impacts upon key suppliers and customers.

At the Charity Retail Association we are committed to minimising the environmental impact of our operations. In particular we will achieve this through our commitment to:

  • comply with all relevant legislation and regulations

  • regularly review the environmental impact of our activities, endeavour to reduce our overall environmental impact and prevent waste using best practice techniques

  • involve employees in our environmental programme and provide necessary training to enable them to discharge their responsibilities

  • sustain a programme of continual improvement in environmental performance incorporating suitable measurement and monitoring mechanisms

  • work with key suppliers to encourage them to develop environmental best practice

  • improve resource efficiency, including our use of water, energy and raw materials.
