Green Credentials
Our Environmental Compliance
We have high standards of environmental considerations within our business including those which relate to the products and services we deliver to our customers. Clarity service engineers and the IT team are locally based and have ECO friendly vehicles. Our supplier partners take part in environmental schemes set out by government policies such as WEEE and RoHs and have won awards for their recycling and initiatives to minimise the impact their products and manufacturing operations have on the world. Clarity’s main business partner, Sharp, is regarded as being a manufacturer fully committed to this in their product development and manufacturing processes and have become an environmentally advanced company. Sharp is certified to ISO 14001.
Clarity manage and operate an accredited toner recycling scheme that customers can opt into. Where appropriate, some of our devices are recycled as our Eco Refurbished Line of Multi-Function Devices.
Super Green Products
Since fiscal 2004, Sharp has been certifying products that offer a particularly high level of environmental performance as “Super Green Products (SPG)”. In fiscal 2016, Sharp revised the criteria for this certification. Products are certified if (1) they offer class-leading energy-saving or energy-creating performance, or (2) they offer significantly high environmental performance through the use of unique Sharp technology.
This way, Sharp is aggressively pursuing the development of products that consume as little power as possible or that use resources to the least possible extent, as well as developing high-efficiency solar cells.
