Intelligent Company

Mitsubishi Motors’ head office in the UK has held ISO 14001 certification since 2002 (this is the standard for environmental management systems) and we are continually aiming to reduce the environmental footprint of our business and to decrease the level of waste and pollution we produce.

Saving Waste

In every office across the country, paper waste is a major problem.

Here at Mitsubishi Motors in the UK we are undertaking measures to become a paper-free office with, for example, no paper reports allowed to be printed for meetings and no waste bins at employee desks - ensuring that everyone thinks before they print. Recycling bins for both paper and plastic are situated around the buildings.

We call this intelligent Motion.

Saving Power

Measures to save power include encouraging staff to turn off computers and monitors when at lunch or away from their desks for any length of time. All of our computers are automatically powered-down every evening, including their monitors, which saves a considerable amount of power and thus reduces our CO2 carbon footprint.

In addition, lights in areas which are not in use constantly - toilets, for example - are all motion activated.

We call this intelligent Motion.

Saving Packaging

Steps to reduce the amount and weight of packaging materials for vehicle parts include using bubble wrap or reusable plastic containers instead of boxes. All packaging is either reused or recycled, as is all scrap metal, out of date vehicle brochures and manuals, etc.

We call this intelligent Motion.

Saving CO₂

Saving CO₂ is often as simple as saving delivery trips.

The volume reductions resulting from changing our parts packaging has meant that larger quantities may be taken per load, reducing the number of trips; also the majority of deliveries are made at night in order to both reduce and avoid congestion.

But it’s not just our lorries we try to keep off the road - all staff members are actively encouraged to take part in the ‘cycle to work’ scheme first instigated in 2008.

We call this intelligent Motion.
