At Smart Employee Eyecare, we are dedicated to creating a sustainable future for our planet and the communities we serve. Our commitment to sustainability is ingrained in our values and business practices. We recognise that as an eyecare benefits company, we have a responsibility to minimise our environmental impact and contribute positively to society.
1. Environmental Stewardship
We pledge to continuously assess and reduce our environmental footprint by:
Energy Efficiency: We strive to reduce energy consumption in our facility through efficient lighting, heating, and cooling systems, as well as the use of renewable energy sources where feasible.
Waste Reduction: We are committed to minimising waste generation by promoting recycling, and responsible packaging choices.
Sustainable Materials: We prioritise the use of eco-friendly and sustainable materials in our products and packaging to reduce our reliance on non-renewable resources.
Carbon Footprint: We work towards measuring and reducing our carbon emissions, both directly and indirectly related to our operations and supply chain.
2. Community Engagement
We actively strive to engage with the community to promote positive change:
Education and Awareness: We are committed to raising awareness about the importance of regular eye health checks, as well as educating our customers about sustainable practices.
Local Support: We support local businesses, whenever possible, to contribute to the economic well-being of the communities in which we operate.
3. Ethical Business Practices
We strive to uphold the highest ethical standards in all our operations:
Digital vouchers: Our online vouchers are created through an online portal and downloadable PDFs that can be shown to the optician without the need for printing.
Sustainable Partnership: We work closely with partners who share our commitment to environmental responsibility, such as Caledonian Optical, our glazing partner. Their lenses are crafted locally in Britain, contributing to a reduction in carbon footprints and supporting local craftsmanship.
Supply Chain Responsibility: We work closely with our suppliers to seek materials that are sourced ethically and sustainably, with respect for human rights and environmental regulations.
Diversity and Inclusion: We are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace that values all individuals, regardless of their background, and provides equal opportunities for growth and development.
Transparency: Communicating openly about our sustainability initiatives, progress, and challenges, inviting feedback from our customers, employees, and stakeholders.
