Suppliers Relationships

Many of our suppliers are located within the Greater Manchester and Lancashire regions and we support trading with local suppliers where possible. We have a Supplier Code of Conduct that we distribute to our suppliers setting out our expectations on ethical behaviour within our supply chain.

In addition, we have surveyed our suppliers to ask them about their own processes and are engaging with them to understand more about the requirements they themselves have of their own supply chain. By engaging in this way we hope to strengthen relationships and enable Envair Technology to improve both the reporting of its Scope 3 carbon emissions and gain additional comfort over the ethical standing of our full supply chain.
SDG – 12 Responsible Consumption & Production

Community Engagement

We support local causes through fund-raising and donations and support staff in their fundraising or volunteering activities. This may be via collections from the workplace, donations to sponsored events or support for clubs and organisations that our employees are involved with. Each individual activity is review and supported where possible, with new opportunities sought too.
