Sustainability Policy

Oak Contemporary LLC recognizes that businesses can negatively impact the social and natural environment. We are committed to finding ways to reduce the impact of our work both in the office and when work takes us away from the office. This is a living promise to ourselves, our families, and our customers. 

It is our policy to:

• We will extend the life of our products, old and new, by enabling ways to rent, repair, and recirculate them

• We commit to supporting local manufacturers in the United States. 

• Recycle as much waste material as possible

• Avoid the use of paper wherever possible.

• Recycling equipment that is no longer of use to the company. For example, giving away items such as computers and printers that we no longer use.

• Keep energy usage low. For example, use low-energy light bulbs throughout and ensure that computers are shut down after work.

• Reuse waste paper (from the printer) where possible, using the blank side for notes, etc.

• Purchase products with a lower environmental impact—for example, environmentally safe soaps/detergents, recycled paper towels, ect.

• Use low-impact transport for travel to and from work and travel for business. For example, we use public transport to attend meetings and offer a Cycle Scheme to encourage staff to cycle to work or to carpool.

• Avoid unnecessary travel using instant messaging, video and audio conferencing, telephone, and email
