Think Green - Be Green
At Shermond we see our commitment to reducing our impact on the environment as a key area of corporate social responsibility. Our underlying principle is to provide the tools and resources to ensure that our sales and purchasing teams are equipped with the required level of knowledge to help our customers make informed choices, without a bias towards any specific environmental solution. This may be through the provision of a product manufactured from recycled or biodegradable materials or through controlled dosing systems to minimize waste. This process starts with clearly identifying the product's sustainability characteristics with a clear and easy to use series of symbols that operate across our business.
