Nurturing Vision, Embracing Responsibility
At Associated Optical, we recognize the vital intersection between vision care and environmental responsibility. As an SME dedicated to providing cutting-edge optical solutions, we are committed to weaving sustainability into the fabric of our operations.
Here's how we are working towards a greener and more responsible future:
1. Eco-friendly Products: Our commitment begins with the products we offer. We prioritise suppliers that source their materials in a sustainable manner and use product designs that minimise environmental impact. From magnification to packaging, our products reflect our dedication to both style and sustainability.
2. Energy Efficiency: Associated Optical is dedicated to reducing our carbon footprint. Our facilities are being equipped with energy-efficient lighting, heating, and cooling systems. We will continue to invest in innovative technologies to further decrease our energy consumption and contribute to a cleaner environment.
3. Waste Reduction: Our suppliers manufacturing processes are designed to minimise waste. Our key supplier now uses 9 tonnes less paper per year and by adding a packing innovation to their polybags, save around 1.8 tonnes of new plastic every year. Associated Optical actively seek recycling and upcycling solutions for their material. Additionally, our packaging is thoughtfully curated to be as minimal and recyclable as possible.
5. Sustainable Partnerships: Associated Optical values sustainable partnerships. We collaborate with suppliers and stakeholders who share our commitment to ethical practices and environmental responsibility. By working together, we aim to create a supply chain that prioritises both quality and sustainability.
6. Green Innovation: Working with our suppliers, we continually explore and adopt green innovations in our operations. From eco-friendly practices to sustainable packaging innovations, we are committed to staying at the forefront of environmentally conscious practices within the optical industry.
7. Transparent Reporting: We believe in transparency and accountability. Our sustainability efforts are measured by 'TRACE Ltd' our decarbonisation partner and we provide transparent reporting on our website via our carbon reduction plan to keep our customers, partners, and stakeholders informed about the progress we are making towards our sustainability goals.
8. Employee Engagement: Our employees are the heart of our sustainability efforts. We promote a culture of environmental responsibility within our workforce, encouraging eco-conscious practices both at work and in their personal lives. We believe that individual actions collectively contribute to meaningful change.
At Associated Optical, our commitment to sustainability is more than a corporate responsibility; it's a promise to nurture vision responsibly. Join us on our journey towards a brighter, greener future – where vision care and environmental stewardship harmoniously coexist.
Together, let's see a better world.
