Corporate Environmental Policy
MarketAccess is an environmentally conscious and responsible company. We recognize
the importance of our environment and its fragility, and the importance of conservation
of resources and energy. It is important, as a responsible corporate citizen,
to ensure we protect our environment while we conduct business.
As a new media company, we promote the responsible use of new technologies
to minimize paper wastage – we provide electronic distribution of proposals
whenever possible. We utilize Internet technologies to provide paperless knowledge
sharing and team collaboration – we prefer electronic repositories over
CD replication. In all our business activities, we select the most non-polluting
technologies and ensure waste minimization (including printing on recycled paper
whenever possible, reusing waste paper before recycling it, and recycling printer
cartridges). We select EnergyStar compliant electronic equipment to minimize
energy consumption.
We believe the automobile has a detrimental impact on our environment, and
that the Internet provides alternatives to commuting, and as a result we provide
work-at-home options to encourage reduction in traffic congestion and air pollution.
We also comply with all regulatory requirements, including appropriate disposal
of electronic equipment.
MarketAccess ensures all employees, in the course of their duties, act in
an environmentally responsible manner, and endeavour to select suppliers and
contractors whose environmental practices are in accordance with our philosophy.
We encourage feedback from our employees, suppliers, and contractors about ways
we can continue to improve our environmentally responsible activities.
Our smallBIZ web hosting division processes all invoicing and billings electronically, using email-based invoicing and receipt generation, thereby reducing paper-wastage by avoiding standard printing of initial and reminder notices.
We hope you share in our hope that through responsible corporate environmental
management, we can keep our planet clean and healthy for future generations!
