Sustainability

Validera is committed to being environmentally and socially responsible, and we strive to minimize our negative impact on the planet while maximising our positive impact on society. To that end, we have developed the following sustainability policy:

1. Environmental Stewardship

We will continuously work towards reducing our environmental impact by minimising our use of natural resources, reducing our carbon footprint, and preventing pollution. We will achieve this by implementing the following actions:

• Monitoring and minimising our energy consumption, including electricity and fuel use

• Managing our waste streams by reducing, reusing, and recycling materials whenever possible

• Using sustainable and eco-friendly products and materials wherever feasible

• Regularly assessing and improving our environmental performance through measurable targets and regular reporting.

2. Social Responsibility

We are committed to conducting our business ethically and with integrity. We believe in treating all our employees, customers, suppliers, and stakeholders with respect and dignity. Our approach to social responsibility includes:

• Ensuring safe and healthy working conditions for all our employees

• Providing equal opportunities for all employees and promoting diversity and inclusion

• Upholding ethical business practices, including responsible sourcing and fair trade principles

• Encouraging community engagement through volunteering, sponsorships, and partnerships with local organisations.

3. Continuous Improvement

We acknowledge that sustainability is an ongoing journey that requires constant evaluation and improvement. We will review and update our sustainability policy regularly to ensure that we are aligned with the latest sustainability trends and standards. We will also seek to improve our sustainability performance by:

• Setting achievable sustainability goals and objectives

• Regularly measuring and monitoring our progress

• Encouraging innovation and creativity to identify new sustainability solutions

• Encouraging open and honest dialogue with our stakeholders to ensure we are meeting their expectations

We believe that sustainability is a critical aspect of our business, and we are committed to taking action to ensure we operate in a sustainable and responsible manner

We want to be a responsible business that meets the highest standards of ethics and professionalism.
