At Irashai Services Ltd we are committed to the following:
- Carrying out a sustainability and traceability analysis on all our products, ingredients and materials.
- Our offices are powered by Green Energy.
- We recycle, reduce and compost within the office.
- We source and use environmentally friendly suppliers – local, national and international.
- We recycle all paper, glass and cardboard. We even return our plastic fruit containers from the supermarket who supplied them.
- We either travel by train, motorbike or walk to any client meetings.
- We use recycled boxes, packaging and envelopes to send out our products.
- Any paper documents sent out are on recycled paper envelopes and recycled and traceable paper.
- We reduce the use of notebooks and excess use of paper.
- We use eco friendly couriers when shipping items to customers.
- All our items from Japan are sent via ship.
- Over 75% of our consumerables are either organic, locally sourced, fairly traded, biodynamic or free ranged.
- We love supporting and working with social enterprises and youth groups or charitable associations.
- We encourage collaborating and building a sustainable network within business and local community – member of Transition Town.
- We encourage our suppliers to continue to showcase their green credentials and further reduce their output. For example, Oigen enables any small iron particles that are too small to be recycled for the casting of pans to be upcycled by the Local Council in her town for use in building/road works.
- We switch off electrical appliances when not in use.
- We would like to assist our customers to use our products in an environmentally friendly way. We even provide an odd tip or two in newsletters and blogs we write.
- Our business cards are also printed on recycled paper – thanks to Moo.
