| 3. Environmental Policy: | | 1. The business by a supply chain of partners is the provision of bespoke application services with continual improvements to companies in all parts of the world. The supply chain of partners may act like and can be treated as a single company, however no one company could expect to recruit and retain the large spectrum of qualified skills and experienced knowledge that is needed to provide the bespoke application services to many companies. | | 2. The business is an internet-based service to any kind of computing device without the provision of any hardware or software. Environmental factors apply to the multitude of data centers that provide the service and to the people who manage the service. | | 3. Data centers have a massive energy requirement that is the focus of many environmental improvement processes. | | 4. People have a travel, energy and equipment recycling needs that are the source of many environmental improvement processes. |
| 4. Environmental Audit: | | 1. The quality audit to ISO 14001 standard shall only be conducted on chapters 4 to 10 of the EMS. Chapters 1 to 3 are not audited and do not need to comply with any standard. |
| 5. Company Car Policy: | | 1. It is not good for the environment and so it is not good for any employees in the supply chain to have a company car. The daily commute to work by car is no longer acceptable to the environment and must be avoided. Sales do not need people traveling excessive distances each year to have face-to-face meetings with prospects - electronic communications is better for the environment, better for the sales person and better for prospects. | | 2. People who need a car to travel from rural areas may need to move to urban area that have adequate taxies, busses, trams, trains and the benefit of a walk to work. The evolution of people moving from rural to urban areas has increased in the last decade, but as Internet speeds increase, physical location will become less of an issue. People have the right to choose any mode of transport that they wish to use, but the company is not involved in any way. | | 3. People who choose to commute must pay their own travel costs and must travel in their own time. People who choose not to commute do not have any travel costs and have more time to spend doing what they wish to do - its also better for the environment. | | 4. Travel on company business has expenses paid for at the current tax authority rates in the country where the person pays taxes. Taxies (plus gratuities) and airline tickets while on company business are paid in full. Meals (plus gratuities) and accommodation while on company business are paid in full. | | 5. The very best people are recruited from any part of any country with little concern for physical location - people can choose where they work. Office-centric companies will never be able to compete because the best people in the world do not live in one place that is commutable to one office. The supply chain of partnerships is the only viable structure to bring together the worlds leading people for the benefit of hundreds of customers. |
