Along with our partners, USL is committed to delivering against our sustainable and environmental programmes. This is either via product research and development, or simply enhancing the way we do business. Environmentally aware, our aim is to incorporate our policies for the environment into all projects and continue to improve our efficiency and standards.
We have a strong commitment to use technology to increase efficiency in our workplace practices. We use our website and email systems to keep customers up-to-date with changes in our services, rather than paper based information trails.
We do encourage staff to use recycling and other energy efficient practices in their home life as a follow on from what we practice at work.
Our waste management programme includes:
USL is very genuinely committed to the conservation, protection and enhancement of our environment, and we conduct our activities with a high standard of environmental care.

USL works closely with our freight supplier PBT to manage and continually improve the order delivery and fulfilment of shipments. Some of the initiatives that have been implemented and have subsequently cut 'waste' out of the process are:
Stationery for internal use is recycled where appropriate. We have preferred suppliers, those with environmental policies and a commitment to recycling. The cleaning products that we use are all environmentally friendly and minimise pollutants.
