Environmental Policy Statement

It is Picktek’s policy to operate its business as a corporate citizen committed to sound environmental management and with concern for the well-being of our common environment. Our goal is to ensure that company facilities and operations are in compliance with international and local environmental standards. We intend to be a leader in responsible environmental management.

All employees are made aware of this policy and their responsibilities for environmental issues. This policy statement is on display at company premises. We require each Picktek employee to participate in and accept responsibility for achieving the following goals:

Energy use

There is no use of high powered electrical machinery in the company, but electrical energy is used for our computers and lighting. The company operates an energy conservation policy to ensure that:

• Non-critical electrical equipment is switched off when not needed
• Lighting and heating levels are reduced
• Air-conditioning is used only when temperatures are too high to be controlled through opening windows alone
• Low energy electrical equipment will be preferred for purchase

Transport

Our major transport requirements are for employees to commute to work. We chose the location of our office in an easily accessible area with plenty of public transportation options.

• We prefer to perform business electronically (web-based management systems; e-mails; phone and conferencing) to avoid travel where possible
• We ask our staff to travel Economy class unless there is a business reason to travel in a higher class
• We encourage employees to use public transportation or cycle when traveling to work. For our employees who do not live close to the office, we allow to keep relatively flexible schedule, in order to avoid traffic, and telecommute to work when feasible.

Consumables

• We distribute our software electronically so as to avoid the need to print manuals and copy CDs
• We seek to purchase products which are environmentally friendly, re-usable, recyclable and which do not damage the environment
• Incoming packaging materials are re-used

Campaigning

We make our environmental position clear to clients and to our employees during their daily work.
