• The prevention of pollution by the control of processes which may have an effect on the environment
• Compliance with all relevant environmental legislation and other legal obligations under UK and European law.
• Continuous improvement of environmental performance throughout the organisation and its activities by means of a robust internal Environmental Management System.

PART 5 – ETHICAL LABOUR AND PROCUREMENT POLICY
Colliers Kitchens take social and environmental factors into consideration alongside financial factors in making decisions on the purchase of goods and the commissioning of services. Procurement can make a significant contribution to our goals of sustainable economic development and resource minimisation by ensuring that the goods and services we buy consider optimum environmental performance.
Procurement has an additional role to play in minimising any risk of social exploitation within the supply chain. We believe that this not only makes business sense, it also has the potential to improve the living and working standards of people around the world.
This policy standard sets out the detailed requirements and minimum expectations of our policy of sustainable and ethical procurement. Specifically, it addresses the expectation that our staff and suppliers have a natural respect for our ethical standards in the context of their own particular culture and that relationships with our suppliers are based on the principle of fair and honest dealings at all times.
The same principle of fair and honest dealings must be extended to all others with whom our suppliers do business, including employees, sub-contractors and other third parties and their local communities.
Sustainable Procurement Standard
1. Working in partnership
• We will seek out organisations that share our commitment to sound environmental performance and improvement. We will develop partnerships with our suppliers and contractors and work together to minimise the environmental and social impacts of our supply chain.
• Sustainability requirements will be considered and where appropriate will be specified in initial tender documentation for both suppliers and contractors, to ensure suppliers and contractors are aware of our environmental and social criteria at an early stage in the tender process.
• Small firms, voluntary and community organisations, social enterprises and ethnic minority businesses are considered members of our supply chain as they play an important role in the local economy and contribute to social cohesion.
2. Environmental impact
• Where practicable, we will purchase goods that have a minimal impact upon the environment, both local and global. Factors taken into consideration will include sustainability of resource production, transportation, full life energy/raw material consumption and waste production and percentage recycled content.
• Wherever possible we will consume and purchase less by identifying and eradicating, wasteful practices within our own operation and those operations where we have influence.
• We will re-cycle goods at the end of their life, where this is possible and where it is not possible ensure disposal in the most environmentally sound manner.
3. Procurement process
• Environmental and social factors shall be considered in the purchasing process. Specifically this includes considering what the product is made from, the product durability, where it is made and by whom, the efficiency of the product during use and the processes involved in its production and distribution, what the disposal requirements are and if it can be reused or recycled.
• Sustainable development concepts will be embedded into purchasing functions through training programmes.
Ethical Procurement Standard
We expect our suppliers to comply with legal requirements and to adopt the following moral principles:
1. Regulatory compliance
• Suppliers shall comply with all national and other applicable law and regulations.
2. Employment
• There is no forced, bonded or involuntary prison labour.
• All employees without distinction, have the right to join or form trade unions of their own choosing and, where a significant proportion of the workforce agree, to bargain collectively.
• Employees’ representatives are not discriminated against and have access to carry out their representative functions in the workplace.
3. Elimination of child labour
• The long-term elimination of child labour should take place in a manner consistent with the best interests of the children concerned.
• Suppliers should develop or participate in and contribute to policies and programmes that provide for the transition of any child found to be performing child labour to enable her or him to attend and remain in quality education until no longer a child.
• Children and young persons under 18 shall not be employed at night or in hazardous conditions.
4. Right to a living wage
• Wages paid for a standard working week meet or exceed national (or, where applicable, local) legal standards.
• In any event, wages should not be paid in kind and should be enough to meet basic needs.
• All workers should be provided with written and comprehensible information about their employment conditions in respect to wages before they enter employment and the particulars of their wages for the pay period concerned each time that they are paid.
• Deductions from wages as a disciplinary measure should not be permitted. Deductions from wages not provided for by national law should only be permitted with the expressed permission (without duress) of the worker concerned. All disciplinary measures should be recorded.
5. Avoidance of excessive working hours
• Standard working hours must comply with national laws and national benchmark industry standards; whichever affords greater protection to the employee.
• All Employees should not on a regular basis be required to work in excess of 48 hours per week and should be provided with at least one day off for every 7-day period on average. Overtime requested by the employer must be voluntary and must not be requested on a regular basis.
6. No discrimination
• A policy of equality for all should be in place and there should be no discrimination in hiring, compensation, access to training, promotion, termination or retirement based on race, caste, national origin, religion, age, disability, gender, marital status, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, union membership or political affiliation.
7. Provision of regular employment
• To every extent possible work performed must be on the basis of recognised employment relationship established through national law and practice.
• Obligations to employees under labour or social security laws and regulations arising from the regular employment relationship should not be avoided.
• Examples include the abuse of labour-only contracting, sub-contracting, or home-working arrangements, through apprenticeship schemes where there is no real intent to impart skills or provide regular employment, or the excessive use of fixed-term contracts of employment.
8. No harsh or inhumane treatment
• Physical abuse or discipline, the threat of physical abuse, sexual or other harassment and verbal abuse of other forms of intimidation shall be prohibited.
Expectations of our suppliers

• To provide a safe and healthy working environment bearing in mind international standards, the prevailing knowledge of the industry and of any specific hazards.
