Recycling Services
Wherever possible the Furniture Delivery Network seeks to recycle old, discarded or damaged furniture as part of an extensive policy to protect and enhance the environment. The company is totally committed to green issues that directly affect the Planet and to this end continually plan to meet a wide range of environmental objectives.
In order to meet these objectives the Furniture Delivery Network has achieved the Environmental Quality Award ISO 14001:2004. The updated 2004 standard has a greater emphasis on monitoring performance and this gives FDN an independent set of guidelines to follow with external audit to confirm compliance.
FDN has also launched a new division, ‘FDN Environmental Services’ which provides consulting services to customers and suppliers wishing to reduce their own carbon footprints. This service also helps them in obtaining their own ISO certification and is a 1st for the industry.
With an eye on environmental best practice and transport and logistics sustainability, Furniture Delivery Network has also rolled out an initiative focused at reducing its carbon footprint by 30 percent by 2050.
FDN will achieve these aims by utilising those air, sea and road carriers who are actively working to reduce their own footprints and by ensuring optimum vehicle fill rates and reducing empty running through route optimisation
The company is also committed to applying reuse and recycle policies where possible, internal and external training specific to Environmental Issues, continual assessment of energy costs and the adoption of carbon offset schemes.
