Policies

Environmental

Digital IP is committed to leading the industry in minimising the impact of its activities on the environment.

The key aim of our strategy is to achieve this by:

• Minimising waste through evaluating operations and ensuring they are as efficient as possible.
• Minimising toxic emissions through the selection and use of its fleet and the source of its power requirement.
• Actively promoting recycling both internally and amongst its customers and suppliers.
• Source and promote a product range to minimize the environmental impact of both production and distribution.
• Meet or exceed all the environmental legislation that relates to the Company.
• Use an accredited program to offset the greenhouse gas emissions generated by our activities.

Equal Opportunities

The Company is committed to a positive policy which promotes equal opportunity in employment regardless of sex, marital status, disability, religion, race, colour, ethnic or national origin. There shall be no discrimination against employees or applicant for employment on any of the aforementioned reasons.

This policy applies to recruitment and selection, conditions of employment, opportunities for promotion, training or other benefits or dismissal. The Company is committed to eliminate any form of discrimination whether direct or indirect.

 The Company has not afforded special recognition to any Trade Union but membership or the holding of any office of a Trade Union shall not be grounds for discrimination.

Complaints

Any complaint of alleged discrimination will be promptly and thoroughly investigated and a written statement of finding will be provided to the Complainant. If the complaint is found to be justified, the appropriate and effective action will be taken. Complaints should be addressed in writing to the Office Manager.

Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (DDA)

The Company is mindful of legal obligations under the DDA 1995. It is the policy of this Company that, wherever practicable, it will meet obligations in seeking to offer equal opportunities for employment with disabled people.

This policy applies to disabled applicants for new job opportunities as they arise. Full and fair consideration will be given to disabled applicants for every type of vacancy.

This policy also applies to existing employees who will be given special consideration for continued employment, should they become disabled whilst in the employment of the Company.

Wherever possible, alternative employment will be offered if the disability prevents the employee from doing their existing job. If necessary and where possible the Company will make reasonable adjustments to an alternative position.

In some cases consultation will take place with the employee and his/her Medical Advisor to ascertain the type of work the employee would be able to do in order to determine whether adjustments are reasonable.

Quality

It is the established policy of Digital IP to provide its customers with products and services which comply in all respects with the agreed specifications and which are fit for their intended purpose, where this is known.

In the pursuance of this policy, the requirements of the International Standard – BS EN ISO 9001:2008, have been implemented together with the requirements of all applicable product realisation related, statutory and regulatory documents.

The purpose of the Quality Manual is to describe how this policy is implemented, to give guidance to our employees whose actions can affect the quality of product and services, and to illustrate the overall commitment to continual improvement to quality within our company.

This manual, which is not intended as a stand alone document, is supported by detailed Standard Operating Procedures (SOP’s) Quality System Procedures (QP’s), and where appropriate, by Work Instructions (WI’s), to form a set of working documents which define or company’s product realisation activities.

The quality management system (including this policy) is maintained by audit and review, and by the methods described in this manual in order to provide effective assurance that all customer specified requirements are consistently achieved.

Management will ensure that employees at appropriate levels are trained and developed to understand, implement, and improve the quality objectives contained in this policy document, and, further detailed in the company’s quality management system, and, in the achievement of the company’s goals and objectives which are defined and reviewed annually at the company’s management review meeting.

We publish this manual in the knowledge that the quality of our products and services and our ongoing reputation depend on the everyday action of our employees.

I am wholly committed to this Quality Management System and it is the responsibility of every individual employee of the company to ensure that the task or operation he or she performs fully meets with the specified requirements, before it is passed to the next stage of the business, or processing cycle, or to our customers.
