Running a successful business today is about so much more than just making money.
Successful business leaders are becoming increasingly aware that they must take the responsibility for their company’s effects on the environment and impact on social welfare as seriously as they do their growth strategy.
According to figures from the Federation of Small Businesses, there were an estimated 4.8 million business in the UK at the start of 2012, employing 23.9 million people. Together, these businesses will have a huge impact on the environment in which they work.
Corporate social responsibility (CSR), often known as corporate citizenship, is rapidly moving up the business agenda, with companies investing time and money in environmental sustainability programmes, alternative energy and initiatives to benefit their employees, customers and the wider community.
In 2013, no company strategy is complete without a statement on CSR, but at Calor, we want to help our customers deliver more than just a statement. We want to offer a solution that is good for the environment, good for performance, good for the people working within the business and good for the bottom line.
Looking beyond the boardroom
We work in partnership with businesses throughout the UK, providing a forklift solution that delivers against both business objectives and CSR goals.
At Calor, we continually test our LPG solutions against alternative fuels, and we have proven beyond doubt that LPG is a cleaner source of fuel – cleaner for the people working within your business and the wider community in which you are based.
Time and again, we demonstrate to our customers the environmental savings of using Calor LPG compared to diesel and electric powered forklift trucks. Our solution offers much fewer carbon emissions than diesel and eliminates the need to have electric batters on charge 24 hours a day.
Delivering against set objectives
We are currently working with one of the UK’s largest retailers, where Calor LPG has supported the creation of a facility with the lowest carbon footprint of any depot of its type. Alongside the use of a wide range of greener construction methods and energy efficient systems, the introduction of LPG-powered forklifts has supported the company to reach its goal.
A partner in your CSR programme
We believe in working in partnership with our customers to provide the best solution to meet individual business needs. This philosophy has underpinned our work within the LPG market, which began some 78 years ago.
We have a dedicated team of forklift truck sales specialists who can recommend the best solution by evaluating your business needs. Alongside them, our specialist technical staff are the acknowledged experts on all manner of LPG applications and our customer helpline is always on hand with free advice and free emergency assistance, day and night throughout the year.
At Calor, we know that a CSR programme is not just a one-line solution within a statement on a website. It’s a complex programme that if delivered well, can impact the business and the wider community. Our aim is to deliver an environmental solution as part of your wider programme.
