Our Commitment to Sustainable Business
This document outlines Pixel’s intent to work in a responsible and sustainable way. It sets out the policies which guide our operation and our overall approach to the five key areas of sustainable business: People, Communities, Ethics, Environment and Quality.
​
CSR and Sustainability are terms used often, and often misunderstood. They are also fast-moving concepts – subject to continuous change as global understanding of these areas improves and the bar is raised higher.
​
Because of this, we do not claim to have all the answers. However, we do believe we have the right attitude and the very best intentions – and firmly commit our business always to change and improve whenever new ideas show us better ways of working.
​
When our clients work with Pixel we will ensure they can trust us to provide quality, effective services and solutions – all safely delivered within the parameters of this policy, protecting both their brand reputation and ours.
​
1. Our People
Pixel is passionate about its people and believes strongly that we can only meet our business objectives through a well-trained, empowered and motivated workforce who also enjoy working with us.
We aim to be a fair and respected employer, one valued by its employees.
​
Our Commitment:
“Pixel will offer fair and equal employment opportunities for all – regardless of gender, race, religion, or age. We will provide a good quality working environment, with comfortable facilities, the most appropriate technology and equipment, and individual attention to career planning and support.
​
We will always provide the right level of health and safety equipment and training. We aim to not just meet, but exceed, the necessary legislation.
​
We will communicate properly our company aims, values and objectives, and consult our people about all relevant issues.”
​
2. Our Community
We intend to operate our business always to the highest standards. This also affects our behaviour in respect of the community in which we operate and other organisations with which we come into contact.
​
In our local area, we will seek actively to be involved in community projects and initiatives, business mentoring and charity contributions, to extend our value to the local economy and community. We will engage constructively and shape our activities so that our business is always regarded as a valued and listening contributor to local life.
​
Our Commitment:
“Pixel view our local community as an asset and one in which we should fairly invest and give-back to through wide-ranging means. Ultimate measurement is demonstration that our community is enhanced as a result of the Pixel business operating within it.”
​
3. Our Ethics
We will apply the highest possible business ethics in all our supplier relationships focussing on integrity, professionalism and standards.
​
An important aspect of our work involves buying materials in overseas marketplaces. Wherever we buy, we will apply the same high standards that we apply to our own local operation plus additional diligence in relation to the pertinent additional risks.
​
Our Commitment:
“All Pixel personnel responsible for supplier relationships shall be trained in and abide by the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply ‘Personal Code of Ethics’.
​
All Pixel suppliers shall have completed and passed the Pixel ‘EEQ (Ethical, Environmental & Quality) Commitment’ prior to achieving ‘approved supplier’ status. The Ethical element of this commitment will achieve standards outlined within the SA8000 accreditation by Social Accountability International, the leading international benchmark for ethical compliance.
​
Further, random audit programmes shall be undertaken by both Pixel and independent, accredited and recognised bodies, to ensure information contained within the ‘EEQ Commitment’ is executed satisfactorily.”
​
4. Our Environment
Pixel seeks to operate its business in a sustainable way, which minimises our impact on the environment. We operate a process of continuous improvement that reacts quickly to new advice and will seek always to apply the most up to date standards.
​
This takes account of several factors. Internally the approach manifests itself through the intelligent and minimal use of resources such as energy and water and effective waste handling, promoting multi-material recycling with zero-tolerance to landfill.
​
Externally we shall ensure that product suppliers hold similar values and have a process-driven approach in this area. We shall enter consult with clients on environmentally positive alternatives when developing merchandise programmes as well as ensuring continual focus with transport partners on programmes to reduce emissions impact.
​
Our Commitment:
“Pixel will work to the standards of ISO 14001 and ISO9001, the internationally accepted standards for development and execution of an effective Environmental Management system.”
​
5. Our Health and Safety
Pixel Inspiration Holdings Ltd views providing a safe and healthy working environment for all employees and clients a must. Health and safety will continue to be our highest priority as a business, ensuring that we take our duty of care seriously and with full commitment at all levels.
​
Our Commitment:
Pixel is committed to the continuous improvement of the health, safety and welfare of its employees. We fully accept our responsibility for other persons who may be affected by the company’s activities. We pledge to ensure that we comply with all of our statutory duties.
​
Pixel is dedicated at every level with the senior management team firmly committed to promoting safe working practice through consistent communication of the latest health and safety issues.
​
We will continue to promote and influence safe working practices throughout our business, ensuring all legal obligations for health and safety are adhered to as set out by the health and safety at work act 1974 and ISO 45001 while striving for a continuous review of our systems and procedures.
​
6. Our Quality
Pixel recognises Quality is the cornerstone of our business. Without the provision of a quality service and quality products we will not have a sustainable business.
​
Our Commitment:
“Internally, all Pixel managers will have quality-orientated SMART objectives for their departments which shall be regularly reported, analysed and reviewed.
​
Product sourcing quality comprises both Quality Assurance and Quality Control. QA is the “designing-in” of quality prior to manufacture through the pertinent testing of a particular product to relevant standards. QC is the post-manufacture control of this, minimising the risk of sub-quality product reaching consumers.
​
Audit logs of QA and QC checks employed will be maintained for all sourcing activity.”
