Sustainable Information Management It’s time information management offered less

Less stress, lower costs, fewer carbon emissions and a shorter route to digitisation

While sustainable practices in physical records management are well established, the environmental impact of storing digital data is often overlooked. That’s why we’ve partnered with Professors Tom Jackson and Ian Hodgkinson from Loughborough University to explore how our clients can address this hidden footprint and uncover opportunities to support more sustainable, blended information management strategies.

Sustainable Business Taking steps to minimise our footprint

If you’re serious about sustainability, you need an information management partner who is too. We’re minimising our impact on local communities and the environment through initiatives including electric vehicle rollout across the organisation, designing new facilities for efficient energy use, responsible sourcing and recycling all waste paper.

The OASIS Impact Charter

We have developed an Environment, Social, Governance (ESG) Strategy and Action plan, the ‘OASIS Impact Charter’ with the mission to ‘Provide secure, people-powered, lower impact solutions’:

- Our people deliver market-leading services to our clients.

- We are focused on providing safe, secure solutions for all of our clients.

- We are working to decarbonise our solutions – benefitting our clients and the communities in which we operate.

- Our Impact Charter is integral to our overall company strategy, sponsored by our Board of Directors and Executive team.

Ethical suppliers

We very rarely use subcontractors, but on the few occasions we do, we ask them to complete a questionnaire aimed at making sure they can provide the necessary service in a safe, secure and ethical manner. Suppliers are audited annually.

When tendering, we ask questions aimed at encouraging a diverse range of businesses to apply. These include questions about price, availability, reputation, previous experience, quality, sustainability, and environmental management.

Putting waste to work

All shredding takes place either at our in-house facility or via our approved third party, is verified or aligned to BS 15713 and is verified to the British Standard for the Secure Destruction of Confidential Material (BS EN15713). Paper is shredded, then pulped and recycled in paper mills. The recycled material is turned into tissue products like toilet roll and kitchen roll. For every tonne of paper shredded and recycled, around 13 trees are saved.

Energy-efficient deliveries

Our fully-owned fleet is compliant to Euro 5 vehicle emissions standards or above. Route planning and delivery scheduling is coordinated to minimise fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. Our service and maintenance programme keeps vehicles safe and well-maintained.   

Over the past four years we have removed 167 less environmentally-friendly operational vehicles in the UK, due to dynamic route planning and the introduction of Euro 6 and electric vehicles.
