modern life is rubbish .... time for a change?

You won’t find another sweeping

statement about how we run our

business in the ‘greenest’ way possible

and we don’t claim to be saving the

world with a few generic environmental

policies, that would be ridiculous, but

as a company and as a group of

individuals we do realise that we can

make a difference.

Waste is something that we should all

oppose, there is no gain in any form

of being wasteful, waste costs money,

stretches resources and it screams of

inefficiency and incompetence.

“Our CSR policy is

more than just

a statement of

good intent”

Here at the Wagstaff Group we hope to

set a new level of social and

environmental awareness and in doing

so we have taken a holistic approach to

encompass more than just a reuse and

recycle policy.

Our Corporate Social Responsibility

Wagstaff Environmental and CSR Policy - Our Corporate Responsibility

Our CSR is more than just a

statement of good intent, we have

broken it down into real processes that

we have implemented and which will

continue to develop and grow in the

future, for the good.

Some time ago we sat down and

discussed how we could run our

business in a more efficient and

effective manor, back then big changes

were made to implement this and

at the same time reduce our carbon

emissions.

The changes

AOutsource our transportation to

specialist companies to take

advantage of the consolidation of

deliveries and maximisation of loads.

Also routing and scheduling vehicles

helps to minimise mileage whilst

continuing to meet customer demands

across the country.

AOutsourcing warehousing

operations to specialist locally

positioned companies to reduce

energy consumption by sharing and

managing furniture distribution all

under one roof.

“consolidation of

deliveries

& maximisation of loads”

At Wagstaff we realise, that due to the

nature of our business our carbon

emissions are relatively low. (see article on

How are we doing?)

As well as the fundamental changes

we have made to our business over the

years, we have also made a series of

small internal steps across our company

nationally, to help reduce our

environmental impact even further, we

realise that these small steps can make a

BIG difference if we all get involved.

“Sowing the seeds of change

into our team to work, act and be

conscious of how they carry out their

day to day activities will ensure that

in the future acting

environmentally will become

second nature ”.

Although we have achieved a reduction

in energy and fuel consumption since

we achieved our ISO14001 status in

January 2005, we want to do more

in our fight against climate change.

Our initial calculations show that as an

organisation we have a total carbon

footprint of approximately 533 tonnes

of fossil CO2 during the course

of one year.

This measurement reflects our

consumption for the year ended

December 2009 and is to be used

“we have a total

carbon footprint of

approximately

533 tonnes of fossil CO2”

as a guideline, which will enable us to

measure our future performance

year on year.

The calculation has been arrived at,

in the main, by looking at our fleet of

vehicles, kilometres travelled and

applying the rate of g/km as provided

by the Environment Agency, with

further estimates for energy

consumption (electricity). The

calculation is at the initial stages and we

are working closely with the advice and

verification of FIRA, so that we have a

degree of certainty that our bench mark

figure can be used, in the future, to

measure our performance.

How are we doing? Carbon Footprint

Wagstaff Environmental and CSR Policy - How are we doing? Carbon Footprint

Clean Energy Portfolio – Our funding

would support VCS

verified carbon reduction projects

around the world which

reduces carbon emissions through the

displacement of fossil fuels through

clean/renewable energy generation

From £4,399.00 to offset 533 tonnes

“UK Tree Planting –

Planting of trees in the UK region

of our choice, supporting wild

life habits whilst offsetting our

carbon emissions. From £6,142.00

to pledge 534 trees”

Reforestation in Kenya – pledge funds for the planting of native broad leaved trees in the Great Rift Valley. The project is co-ordinated by ESCONET and is also supported by the Red Cross’.

Offset Options

We are currently investigating carbon

offsetting options which would

enable us to offset our unavoidable

emissions by helping fund projects

that deliver an equivalent CO2 saving

elsewhere.

Before we turn to offsetting we are

going through the process of

“We are currently in

the process of

becoming a

carbon Neutral

company ”

reducing our CO2 emissions as

described in these sections

It is now widely acknowledged that

greenhouse gas emissions must be

reduced dramatically to avoid climate

chaos. Business, whether delivering

products or services, has a central role

to play in this.

Wagstaff Environmental and CSR Policy - Offset Options

The influential Stern Report published

in 2006 called for a 60-80% reduction

of CO2 emissions by 2050 and the UK

Government is now committed, in the

Climate Change Bill, to reducing carbon

dioxide emissions by 60% from 1990

levels, by 2050.

We have teamed up with FIRA (the

furniture industries association) to help

all our manufacturing suppliers achieve

our standards of environmental and

social practise by promoting the use of

FIRA’s Furniture Footprinter™.

The Footprinter™ is a revolutionary

computer software tool developed to

help companies within the furniture

supply chain to reduce their carbon

footprints. We realise that all our

furniture manufacturing suppliers are

“ suppliers are at

different levels in

terms of measuring

the carbon footprint

of their individual

products”

at different levels in terms of assessing

the carbon footprint of their individual

products and our goal is to help the

ones who are a few steps behind get up

to speed. Far more sophisticated than a

simple carbon calculator, the next

generation carbon, ecological and

accounting tool is geared towards the

issues facing the furniture sector and

calculates the footprints of specific

products, projects, processes and

whole organisations.

Helping Suppliers live our values

Wagstaff Environmental and CSR Policy - FIRA Carbon Footprinter

Compares the impacts of different product or

project options

Stores data and is continuously updated to reflect

the latest footprint figures.

Demonstrates continuous improvement

Identifies areas where significant

improvements can be made

Helps to raise employee awareness

Calculates the carbon and ecological impacts of different

products or project options

Creates easy to understand reports and charts

The Furniture Footprinter™ is a natural

addition to FIRA’s strong environmental

and business support portfolio, which

includes the Furniture Industry

Sustainability Programme (FISP), Club

Green, lean processes, supply chain

management, sustainable timber

purchasing and environmental

management (ISO 14001).

“Our goal is to help

the ones that are a

few steps behind ”

The Furniture Footprinter™ has been

created using a model devised by Best

Foot Forward, which has received the

Queen’s Award for Enterprise in

Sustainable Development and has

worked on footprinting projects with

organisations such as GlaxoSmithKline,

the NHS, Virgin Trains to name

just a few.

What does this mean?

With an industry standard in place we

have a benchmark to work from so that

our clients can make informed choices

with the confidence that the environ-

mental aspects of those products have

been thoroughly examined.

“We are working towards having every

product in our furniture directory

carbon rated for a our next issue in

2013”

Wagstaff Environmental and CSR Policy - Re-use & Recycle

Re-use and recycle is one of our 7 core services

and actively promoted to all our customers.

We have developed a

series of initiatives to help customers to

responsibly manage unwanted furniture in a

sustainable and cost effective way.

Re-use & Recycle waste management

Carbon Footprint Although furniture may have

reached the end of its life in its current environment, it doesn’t have to be the end of the road. By re-using one desk and task

chair you can save 65 tonnes of CO2, when you consider that an estimated figure of 250,000 units of furniture comes to the end of its life each year, by re

using just 10% could save 16.5 million tonnes of CO2 released into the atmosphere, plus the new owner

gets furniture they need at little or no cost.

Recycling

Only if all of these options have been

exhausted or furniture is beyond

repair do we send it to be recycled.

Recycling to us means segregating

products into their core elements,

wood, metal, plastic etc, this is

done at our distribution hubs before

being collected by local recycling

companies.

• Steel is smelted and added back

into new steel production at 30%

• Card is 100% recycled up to five

times to be made back into paper

products

• Wood - chipped and sent to be

used as animal bedding

Plastic - recycle back into plastic

products where possible

1. New Ways of Working

A Loss of the concept of one person – one desk as workstations are shared.

A Workspace will lose heavy IT and telephony equipment and become a simplified space supporting mobile, portable technology.

A Cost savings from pared down workspace, capex (through less space) and opex (through less churn).

A Fewer allocated desks and increased collaborative and shared space.

WagstaffWhitepapersWe are fascinated by our industry so

much so that we have commissioned

leading expert Phillip Ross,

CEO of Unwired Ltd to produce a

series of reports relating to the

working environment and the future

of the workplace.

Each paper provides a unique insight

into the way we work and the factors

which effect us now and in the not too

distant future, in fact some of these

ideas have been put into practice by

many forward thinking organisations.

Many of theses topics will help reduce

the amount of C02 consumed by

business due to improved efficiency

and new ways of working which better

suit both the employer and employee.

Wagstaff Whitepapers 01-23

2. Emerging Technology and the

Office of the Future

A Fixed phones will vanish with a move to software or ‘softphones’ connecting people to people regardless of location.

APeople more mobile around and out of the office so circulation and shared space will increase.

ARemote users can create Virtual Private Network through laptops to their company’s server allowing use of softphones.

AWi-Fi enabled mobiles will roam onto the local corporate network.

4. Sustainability in the Workplace

A Carbon footprint of workplace includes fit-out, materials, equipment and workers’ behaviour. Consider long-term energy efficiency and cost-savings of equipment against initial cost.

AEnergy saving workforce encouraged by visual energy dashboards to change behaviour.

ASpace management systems optimise energy use by reducing heating and lighting of empty space.

AIntelligent management information systems allow increased control over environment (heating, lighting as well as

accountability for energy use.

8. Acoustics in the Workplace

Part 1

A Noise can cause a loss of privacy, confidentiality and productivity (up to 20%) in open plan work environments.

A New acoustic challenges in an ageing workforce and with new technology replacing traditional telephones.

A European legislation sets the ‘daily personal exposure’ threshold at 80db. Without a ubiquitous headset and quiet zones, unified communications increase the risk of noise pollution.



5. Expectations of the

Next Generation

A Millennials are the technology adept young people coming of age at the start of the millennium who will be boardroom faces in 2025.

A They are heavy internet users and content creators, comfortable with informal instant communication and used to being on an equal footing with other knowledge sharers.

AWill work in the knowledge economy; a digital world where work sharing, collaborating and showing their own initiative are second nature.

3. The Homeworker

A Remote access to corporate networks and mobile telephony widely used to give flexible working and ‘mobile’ office.

ABenefits of reduced carbon footprint, attraction and retention of staff, reduced office overheads.

AHealth and safety, insurance, security remain employers responsibility.

ARisk assessment and provision of office and IT equipment may be necessary.

7. Carbon Offsetting and

Green Claims

A Companies are now taking climate change seriously from a financial and legal perspective rather than from a moral or ethical one.

AThe UK has targets to cut emissions by 34% and increase its renewable energy. Buildings account for 40% of all emissions so must play a part in this.

ASmart buildings with Building Management Systems and sensors can optimise heating and lighting use thereby cutting energy bills and emissions.

AEnergy management companies plus government loans and capital allowances can help companies improve their energy efficiency.

6. Trends and Case Studies

A Old system of one person – one desk with hierarchy still commonplace.

A Sustainability putting pressure on companies to justify their work structure

A Collaboration, distribution and flexible working, supported by new technology, promotes workplace mobility. New concepts of work space with corporate office as an academy.

13. The Death of Paper at Work

A A paperless office that is both environmentally aware and space conscious will become more prevalent as people begin to trust electronic archiving.

A Storing documents on a network makes them accessible from anywhere, allowing mobile and remote workers to share and collaborate in real time.

A Shared local and desktop printers will be replaced by MFDs servicing much larger groups with ‘follow me’ printing allowing workers to pull documents from anywhere.

A e-Books, containing hundreds of Pdfs, will allow users to carry around research and reports.

14. The Disability Discrimination Act

(DDA) and Ergonomics in the

workplace

A Employers must make ‘reasonable adjustments’ to the workplace so as not to discriminate against people with disabilities. Each situation is unique and there are usually a number of different solutions to the same issue. Expensive solutions are not always necessary.

A Disabled people should be consulted in planning and simplesolutions can benefit the whole workforce.

A Good ergonomics is no longer a luxury – flexible working and shared space will necessitate adjustable furniture solutions.

11. The Thin Building

A ‘Obese buildings’ are laden with technology that requires extensive infrastructure and large spaces devoted to servers.

A Virtualisation provides efficient, shared server resources such as Amazon’s AWS with flexibility to expand or reduce the virtual server to meet demand.

A The ‘Cloud’ will see people consuming software on demand and companies being freed of software support and maintenance as well as housing bulky servers.

A If you don’t need to be in the office for technology and software, this will challenge the reasons to be there all the time.

12. The Connected Desk

A With increased use of portable technology and wireless systems, the interface with fixed technology seems clumsy and ineffective.

A Laptops and mobile devices need cumbersome power packs and peripherals. Even docking stations become obsolete with each new development.

A Standardised hardware and wireless power will free up the portable workforce.

A The ‘Connected Desk’ will improve productivity and office efficiency by offering up to three monitors but also assessing use of space.



10. The Digital City and Third Space

A Digital cities use broadband infrastructure enabling users with mobile devices to connect anywhere within the ‘connected community’.

A People will begin to demand new places to work, above and beyond hotels and coffee shops, as wireless technology advances and Wi-Fi embedded in millions of devices.

A Offices will be under pressure to provide workspace and free Wi-Fi for suppliers, contractors and clients with mobile devices.

A The growth of 3rd spaces will increase to supply innovative work environments away from the workplace for a mobile workforce..

9. Acoustics in the Workplace

Part 2

A Traditional passive noise control includes physical barriers and sound absorption.

A Active noise control includes phase cancellation or ‘anti-noise’and new systems of sound masking.

A Early planning and modelling of acoustics in workplace design will be crucial.

A Adaptive systems can react to occupancy and sensed noise providing ‘ramp’ and ‘level scheduling’ noise masking.
