Operating in an ever-changing environment, subject to endless social, environmental and business transformation, Uni Systems collaborates closely with its employees and partners in shaping the Company’s social and environmental policy.
Within this framework, established by Uni Systems Internal Audit mechanism, Corporate Social and Environmental Responsibility constitutes an integral part of Uni Systems culture.
Social Responsibility Policy
Uni Systems is acutely aware of the diverse and challenging social problems we all face today and, through a series of actions and initiatives, based on Social Responsibility Management standard SA 8000, proves its commitment to optimal working conditions.
Uni Systems implements actions as outlined in SA 8000 in the Company’s Management and Evaluation Systems as well.
The Company has established a blood bank in collaboration with the Aglaia Kyriakou Children’s Hospital and is an ardent supporter of this scheme, while supports in a yearly basis the Private Law Corporate Body Institution for abandoned infants I MITERA, providing better conditions for the children that live there.
Environmental responsibility policy
Uni Systems recognises that the growth of the economy is directly dependent on the sustainability of the environment, and man’s harmonious and balanced survival within that environment.
It actively contributes to protecting the environment and saving natural resources by adopting specific rules and applying them across the entire Company.
Uni System follows a clear environmental policy and in doing so fulfils the expectations of its staff, shareholders and customers.
The following principles govern the Company’s environmental policy:
Energy savings
Our aim is to reduce the level of electricity, water and heating oil used and to recycle appliances, batteries, paper, plastics and other materials at all Company facilities. To achieve that, clearly-worded guidelines have been provided to staff about the rational use of electrical appliances, the air-conditioning system and all resources in general.
Appliance recycling
As a company which takes a responsible stance on environmental issues and as a company which is aware of the importance of such issues, for several years Uni Systems has partnered with the first and only company running an electrical and electronic appliance recycling scheme in Greece, Appliances Recycling S.A. Uni Systems sends old or damaged electromechanical equipment, computers, and the like to Appliances Recycling S.A., which recycles or reuses them.
Office space
The Company’s facilities in the Athens area, in Rentis and in Menidi, meet all the relevant H&S requirements and energy savings measures have been put in place. Third party access to company facilities is controlled by a special security team and all required personal protection equipment and fire fighting equipment is available. The facilities have heat and sound insulation installed, old light bulbs have been replaced with new, low power consumption bulbs, and special recycling bins for batteries, paper and other recyclable materials have been installed at all facilities.
In order to better deal with health, safety and environment-related issues, Uni Systems also has an occupational doctor and safety engineer at all its facilities.
Supplier compliance with environmental principles
As part of its quality system, when evaluating suppliers before concluding contracts and agreements with them, the Company examines whether said suppliers comply with environmental protection criteria in relation to the services and products they provide.
The Company does not market products which do not comply with energy savings and environmental protection standards.
No smoking policy
The Company is aware of the need to protect employee health and thus implements a no smoking policy, which bans smoking indoors at all facilities.
Company cars
In the context of its environmental policy, the Company has replaced almost all the company cars it provides to executives with new hybrid, low fuel consumption, low emission cars.
Dialogue with social partners
Uni Systems is committed to implementing all decisions of both the European Union and Greece relating to environmental issues and to that end collaborates with employees, shareholders, customers, suppliers and the State on such matters.
