At AK Coolroom and Freezer Hire we believe that the small initiatives we make add up to big changes. We all have an obligation to improve our practices to help support our environment well into the future. In the process of doing what we love, we improve our environmental footprint, in every way we can, so we can positively impact our broader environment. It is our social and ethical responsibility to be dedicated to sustainability both as a business and the individuals that make up our professional team.
At AK Coolroom and Freezer Hire we take a lot of pride and responsibility in being kind to the environment around us, both at our factories and also when we are onsite at your events. Sustainability is fundamentally important to us and is embedded within our workplace practices.
Some of the changes we have made to reflect our sustainability practices include:
- Building a close relationship with clients to enable venues such as food rescue to collect surplus food items post events. If it is good enough to eat it should not go to waste. At times this means that food rescue may not be able to collect food items within hire timeframes and we will, where possible, always work with you to ensure this facility can occur at no additional costs.
- Actively composting and recycling
- Where possible using non toxic alternative Australian made products whilst still maintaining food safety regulations
- Using only Australian made hospital grade cleaners and sanitizers that are registered with the Australian Therapeutic Goods Association (ATGA) and are COVID tested
- Eliminating non-recycling packaging and protective materials
- Ensuring our office is fitted out with cups, plates and cutlery that can be washed and reused.
- Using only Australian Arctick approved refrigeration suppliers.
- Using only the most energy efficient refrigerants on all our refrigeration products to protect our environment to the best of our ability
- Where possible we are working towards a paperless office platform
We have a genuine care about our impact on the immediate and broader environment. It is for this reason, we want you to know, when you partner with us, you are working with a dedicated team who are committed to meeting environmental and social responsibilities.
