ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY
Mission
Indigo considers environmental issues and quality as being crucial for our business and the wider community. Environmental issues are becoming more challenging. We therefore apply a high degree of importance to mitigating impacts of climate change and we fully support the move towards a low-carbon economy.
We work closely with our suppliers and clients to reduce emissions, paper, electronic waste and environmental hazards mainly through technological enhancements. We ensure our employees understand these principles so they can be informed on adopting green solutions in their work and personal life.
We are committed to minimizing the impact of our operations on the environment and to demonstrating leadership by integrating environmental considerations into all of our business practices.
