Where employed, the impact of distribution/circulation of documents that have been digitised to electronic form is virtually zero. The physical impact is confined to the initial collection and either their return to the client or destruction on the client's behalf.

Service Point uses a fleet of Euro4 Emission-compliant vehicles. Furthermore, documents archived to disk do not require the large storage capacity required for physical copies (often at two separate locations for business continuity reasons.)

In 2006 Service Point UK spearheaded the roll-out of ISO accreditation across the SPS group feeding a task force of experts internationally to deliver full registration. Having achieved ISO 14001 (at UK Head Office and key account level) we are encouraged that owning the accreditation fully supports the demands of our customer base.

This international environmental management standard controlling and improving a company's performance is central to our ongoing ambition to retain our minimum impact on the environment. Service Point continues to drive consistent and acknowledged ways to merge environmental considerations into our day to day activities and strategic planning processes.

The Taskforce focus:

• Gap Analysis - identifying our current status in relation to the EMS (environmental management system)
• Team Workshops - Driving commitment and ownership of EMS
• Awareness - providing education and gaining commitment from the team
