Being a Green Business

A lot of businesses in our sector now operate some kind of Green Policy. At HD Cable we’re proud to say that we have operated a Green policy from day one.

There are a lot of things that even small businesses can do to help tackle climate change - like choosing to go carbon neutral. We have made a number of changes to the day-to-day operations of our business, introducing a 'reduce, re-use and recycle' attitude in our endeavour for HD Cable to go carbon neutral!

We no longer produce extremely unnecessary retail packaging for our mail order products; this greatly reduces not only the 'throw away' plastic product packaging but also the size of the postage packaging as well. In fact, we strongly feel that our cables don't need dressing up in order to sell them, the quality our cables speak for themselves! A large amount of plastic and card used in retail packaging is not only expensive, (thus increasing the retail cost of the cable to you the consumer!) but it is also very un-environmentally friendly! We're sure you'll agree.

Not only this, but they take up far less room when shipping from our factory overseas. We can fit over 5 times more cables within the same delivery, thus reducing the amount of deliveries we require per month and reducing HD Cable's carbon footprint even more!

On top of that you've got to consider the emissions from the plastic factory that weren't produced because of this policy.

In addition to this we now operate a 'paperless office' substantially reducing our stored paperwork and other paper usage and all waste paper is recycled.

All company vehicles have been switched to vehicles classified as fuel efficiency band A.

We feel personally and as a business that we have a responsibility to maintain a healthy environment. We know that our impact may only be very small, but we do believe that if everyone adopted this same attitude, then we could make a big difference together!
