Corporate Social Responsibility Policy

About CSR

At Clockwork we are proud of our track record in risk management, health and safety and environmental planning. We are committed to building a safe working environment to protect the interests of our employees, customers and the wider community. 

Health & Safety

Our North London branch holds the ISO 45001, the international standard in occupational health and safety. Clockwork’s health and safety management systems and procedures meet exceptionally high standards, consistently identifying and controlling health and safety risks, reducing accidents and ensuring full legislative compliance. Our North London branch also holds the ISO 9001 in quality management, ensuring customers get a consistent and high standard of service.

Eco-Friendly Removals

We have specific goals and policies to ensure that we minimize our environmental impact and, in conjunction with Carbon Footprint Ltd, we are proud to be a CO₂e assessed organisation.

Our North London branch holds the ISO14001 Environmental Management Systems certification and all our projects and procedures comply with this.

Our Green approach translates into every aspect of our day-to-day operations and within our CSR plan we continually set ourselves demanding environmental targets. Most importantly this includes a fleet replacement plan; making sure our fleet is fully compliant with the UK’s Ultra Low Emission Zones (ULEZ). 

To further minimise our environmental impact we work alongside Carbon Footprint, taking part in their UK tree planting initiative in which we plant a tree for every container we ship throughout the world. We are also proud to be part of the Carbon Capture Scheme supported by the Woodland Trust whereby C02 emissions from the manufacture and distribution of our printed mailers and flyers is offset by planting native British woodland.

We are continually adapting and updating our CSR plan to ensure we meet and exceed it’s targets, here are just some of the other ways in which we strive to do this:

• Using recycled packing materials and recycling them after use. 
• We use recyclable paper for all our marketing materials and encourage the use of ebrochures and ebusiness cards wherever possible.
• Partnering with eco-friendly organisations for recycling and disposal services.
• Continual driver training; to ensure responsible driving and fuel efficiency.
• Our highly trained operations teams work hard, throughout the UK, to reduce empty running with strategic planning and backloading.
• We encourage the use of virtual surveys where possible to further cut down on travel and emissions. 

Clockwork in the Community

At Clockwork we are committed to protecting and improving the local communities in which our branches operate, throughout the UK. Examples of the ways in which we get involved include; supplying boxes for use at food banks and sponsoring schools and local sports teams. Where possible we offer specialised removals for charities including the Six Circle Project in Perth and Baby Basics in Sheffield.
