Environmental Policy

We hope that our Environmental Policy will enable clients to relax and enoy their move, confident in the knowledge that John Mason International are contunally revising and updating their policy for maximum effect.We are aware that the volume of paper packaging material used during an overseas move may cause concern, but we would like to reassure our clients that:1) No raw materials from the world’s endangered rainforests are used to make John Mason’s packing materials.2) Approximately three-quarters of all John Mason cartons are eventually recycled.3) New John Mason cartons contain almost two-thirds recycled material.

4) All cartons must use some new material to provide the required strength. This material comes from managed afforestation schemes, which exist only to provide material for the paper and board industry. These fast-growing tress consume Co2 rapidly and therefore help to reduce the effects of global warming.

In addition, John Mason participates in the LACMA Earth Social Responsibility Programme for International Removal Companies.

Vehicles

In addition, John Mason International take a responsible attitude to the environment throughout its business activities. This includes:

• efforts to decrease vehicle empty running
• regular vehicle servicing to ensure fuel efficiency
• defensive driving practices to reduce fuel consumption

‘Paperless Office’

John Mason International have introduce a ‘Paperless Office’ policy. This policy involves the saving of documents to PDF files which are stored on the computer system in each individual file. This method therefore eliminates the need to print the document. This has significantly reduced paper consumption as a whole.

Office Recycling

John Mason International operate a policy of recycling all paper waste. Recycling bins are placed in each office with a Recycling sign above.

Used A4 documents with print on one side are fed back into the printer so that the paper is used again with the print appearing on the other side. This practice is only undertaken for non-important, internal documents.
