We are committed to delivering our services in ways that minimise our environmental impact, demonstrate our commitment to rights and justice, and are consistent with the highest professional standards.

Sustainability and the environment

We want to minimise our ecological footprint. We are committed to doing this through our work practices and through our choice of suppliers.

We aim to operate a virtual business. In particular, we utilise technology to assist our goal to be a paperless business. We encourage you to assist us in this. We have no dedicated offices, saving land use and encouraging the sharing of resources.

We aim to reduce our consumption of the earth’s resources, in particular paper and energy; to re-use consumables and equipment where possible, in particular printer consumables and computer equipment; and to recycle where consumables have reached the end of their useful life within Celtic Knot, including paper recycling and making out-of-date equipment available to others.

Where possible, we choose suppliers whose ethical and environmental commitments reflect our own.

 

Rights and justice

Celtic Knot, in its own methods of working, and in the outcomes it seeks to achieve for its clients, strives to promote human rights.

We will avoid discriminatory practices, seek to challenge such practices when experienced by our clients, and use anti-discriminatory principles to influence our choice of suppliers.

We aim to achieve just working practices for ourselves and for our clients.

We expect our clients to support our commitment to anti-discriminatory practice.

We are committed to Fair Trade products where appropriate.
