These are the key policy statements of ECDC, setting out our values and commitment. Together, we foster an environment that is inclusive, socially conscious, environmentally mindful, and committed to volunteering.

ENVIROMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY

ECDC has committed to environmental sustainability as a key priority for its own business and for the future of our world.

We believe that a sustainability strategy not only supports the transition towards a sustainable, low carbon society, it also has strategic importance and has the potential to lead to a more valuable and attractive company for ourselves, clients, and shareholders. That’s why ECDC measure, monitor, and evaluate the environmental impact of everyday business activities, including energy usage, transportation, and purchased goods and services. ECDC seeks to identify, promote, and facilitate sustainable business activities to improve our environmental impact.

We know that collective change is driven by individual actions and must be part of our everyday operations. We strive to efficiently leverage our shared resources, raise awareness of environmentally responsible practices, reduce our carbon footprint, and promote a culture of environmental stewardship.

Our abatement efforts are currently focused on three categories:
