Dunlop Adhesives - Setting an eco example
Dunlop Adhesives has long been committed to environmentally sound
working practices as demonstrated by its use of eco-friendly
materials wherever possible and its on-going efforts to reduce waste
and increase recycling. However, not content for its environmental
efforts to stop there, the innovative manufacturer - which supplies
a range of high-quality, high performance tile adhesives, grouts and
finishing products to the builders’ merchant and retail sectors -
staged its own Environmental Awareness Week in mid-October.
Throughout the duration of this special working week, staff at all
levels and in all departments were encouraged to think of ways in
which they, and the wider Dunlop Adhesives business, could operate
in a more environmentally friendly fashion. All ideas were welcome
and the company even created a special suggestion box which offered
the person who submitted the best idea the chance to win a brand new
mountain bike.
Staff were also encouraged to consider how they could take even
larger steps in terms of recycling, reducing landfill waste and
minimising their own personal contribution to the company’s waste
stream. In addition, the concept of car sharing - thereby helping to
drive down associated vehicle emissions and Dunlop Adhesives’
overall carbon footprint – was promoted. Staff who opted to share
vehicles were incentivised with rewards including canteen vouchers.
Naturally, the event was also a two-way initiative. On each day
throughout the week, the Dunlop Adhesives’ team were able to attend
informative presentations on a whole range of eco-issues pertinent
to both their professional and personal lives. These covered
subjects ranging from water conservation through to ensuring greater
energy efficiency in the home.
Speaking of the event, Jenny Barnett, Health, Safety & Environmental
Co-ordinator for Dunlop Adhesives said: “Dunlop Adhesives’
progressive approach doesn’t just extend to our products, it also
extends to our staff. Environmental Awareness Week reflects this and
was all about empowering everyone at every level to get involved and
to help make our company an even greener business.”
“All efforts were welcome – no matter how small. The reality is that
if each and every member of our team does a little bit here and a
little bit there, it adds up to one major difference.”
