Are you working with suppliers and service providers to continually improve social and environmental practices within your supply chain and business? If yes,  describe the process. 

Yes, as an agency we are continually striving to improve our social and environmental practices within our supply chain. We work closely with our suppliers and partners to ensure we have process in place that sets goals to follow, review ongoing performance and implementing / executing around set guard rails. Some of our goals and measurable metrics consider selection process of suppliers, sourcing materials responsibility, optimising our companies' operations, continually promote and educate all employees on best processes both in social and environmental ways.  It is also important to note that we also work very closely with some clients 2030 goals - e.g. how do we reduce the use of the cardboard in POS.

List the tools you have in place to reduce your carbon footprint

As an agency we use a variety of tools to reduce our carbon footprint and impact. When engaging suppliers or production partners we review the Green Procurement Market Assessment tool to evaluate how sustainable their operations and products are before engaging them for a project. We encourage projects to be briefed with a much lead time as possible to allow for supplier negotiations and most carbon efficient production & transport of items to Australia or within Australia. We also consider longevity and lifespan of physical assets and encourage asset production for ongoing use rather than single use. We also consider all materials used and how they can be recycled or reused post project – using a sustainability consultant to advise us in best practice across all projects. We are a ‘paperless’ agency where possible and if needed we use recycled paper for printing and also recycle any used paper within the agency.
