Pennells Environmental Policy
At Pennells we are looking to make a real commitment to becoming a greener, more environmentally friendly company. We already do our best to recycle everything we can as well as offering to recycle our customer’s plant pots but we felt that we could be more efficient with our energy consumption. As a plant retailer we are fortunate that our primary product is not just carbon neutral but actually has a positive impact on the environment, however as a responsible business we understand that we should still do everything we can to reduce our energy use and carbon output

Throughout 2011 we are aiming to achieve an overall 15% reduction in our energy usage, through a combination of investment in greener and more efficient technologies, increased monitoring, changing how we use our energy and increased vigilance by our staff. All this should be possible with no interruption or negative effect to our customers, and hopefully may even improve our general efficiency.

Some of the specific areas we hope to improve upon include:
• Increased training of our staff to ensure all equipment is unplugged and turned off when not being used.
• Monitoring our energy consumption more closely and having it divided between the different sections so we can identify patterns and waste quicker.
• Utilize existing power saving options in our current equipment, such as setting computers to enter standby mode or shut off entirely if not used for prolonged periods.
• Replacing lighting fittings and their bulbs or tubes with more energy efficient versions, without compromising on light levels within the store.
• Make energy efficiency an important concern when buying any new equipment or any building works in the future.
• Try to obtain our energy from more sustainable sources

If you have any concerns or ideas to help us in our aim please feel free to contact us.
