The Environmental Policy of Qualco UK Ltd (“the Company”) is to ensure, as far as it is reasonably practicable, to that our operations will be carried out with a commitment to conduct them in an environmentally responsible manner.

Senior Management and their teams strive for excellence in every aspect of our business; we are committed to minimising any negative environmental impacts of the business operation and to effectively communicate Qualco’s Environment Policy to clients, partners and employees.

An Environmental Management System Manual has been created to detail how the Environmental Management System (EMS) has been established, and how it will be documented, implemented and maintained.

We are compelled to integrate the key aspects of our sustainable development into our operational practices and culture.

Our Key Environmental Policy Objectives:

To provide context, Qualco operates out of a shared service office building, managed by the landlord Knight Frank and it does not pay for utilities directly. The Company provides software solutions for the Collections and Recoveries sector of the Financial Services industry.

Qualco aims to understand the full scope of the environmental impact of its business.

Objective 1: We commit to a net zero carbon emissions operation, ahead of the UK Government legislative target of 2050. Working with external consultants, we will finalise a Carbon Reduction Plan by end of Q1, 2024.

Objective 2: We will continue our work towards limiting our carbon footprint by reducing and off-setting carbon emissions, including but not limited to:

• Minimising electricity, gas and water consumption
• Reusing or recycling all possible materials and reducing waste produced by our activities
• Being environmentally conscious when planning travel to and from places of work, including client visits

Objective 3: We will appoint Environment Champions to raise awareness and work with the Qualco team to promote our Environmental objectives in 2024.
