ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY

At Gordale, we believe we all have a responsibility to protect our environment. That’s why we’ve taken the lead with employees and suppliers, making protecting the environment central to our business.

Because we’re so passionate about minimising the impact of our activities, we’re absolutely committed to a continuous process of development. We want our business to grow in a manner that contributes to achieving an environmentally sustainable development, and we wish to reflect this in our business practices through our values and policies.

In developing and operating our environmental policy, we aim to make the requirements of legislation and environmental regulation the minimum standards to be observed – so we always invite new ideas to encourage sustainable development.

Together with our employees, we observe a number of commitments, which are set out in the following statement.

 

  • We encourage employees to turn off all electrical equipment, such as computers, laptops and photocopiers when not in use
  • We encourage employees to turn off any room lighting when not in use
  • Timers, sensors and thermostats have been installed to prevent waste of resources
  • We actively promote recycling both internally and amongst its customers and suppliers
  • We actively promote the use of recycled products and materials
  • We source and promote a product range to minimise the environmental impact of both production and distribution
  • We use local suppliers and produce wherever possible
  • We implement staff training to raise awareness of the importance of recycling and enlist their support in improving the company’s performance
  • We work with the community and schools to encourage awareness of the environment through education in the form of talks, school trips and tree planting and ‘Grow Your Own’ competitions
  • We plant trees and site bird houses on Gordale property
  • We work with local societies such as the RSPB, Woodland Trust and Cheshire Wildlife Trust
  • We have over 400 solar panels which produce approximately 80,000 watts of energy
  • We use recyclable cups and tubs throughout our coffee shop – we have also limited the use of straws
  • We have reduced the use of carrier bags by over 50% – bags that we do used are biodegradable

 

FSC POLICY

Gordale is committed to the purchasing of products from a responsible source. To achieve, we ensure, where possible, that all wood and paper products come either from well-managed forests or recycled materials.

We believe that the best way to do this is to purchase products with the FSC logo. We believe certification by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) currently offers the best evidence that wood and paper products come from well-managed forests.

 

We ensure that:

  • Where possible, all paper, timber and timber products come from recycled or FSC certified forests
  • Where available, all tropical hardwood sold is FSC certified
  • Certified or recycled timber, timber containing and paper products sold by Gordale are labeled appropriately
  • All timber and timber containing products used by Gordale in property developments and maintenance come from well-managed forests

We shall not knowingly use:

  • Illegally harvested wood
  • Wood harvested in violation of traditional and civil rights
  • Wood harvested in forests where high conservation values are threatened by management activities
  • Wood harvested from forests being converted to plantations or non-forest use

 

GROWING MEDIA AND PEAT

The government aims to see a reduction and eventual phase out of peat in horticulture, both commercially and for home gardeners.

Peat is an organic material formed when plants in waterlogged areas die. Instead of decomposing slowly, they accumulate as peat.

Peat bogs support unique wildlife, storing carbon and rainwater and releasing it slowly to the rivers. Because peat is made slowly, its extraction causes damage to the environment, so we are committed to finding other growing mediums with either less peat in or no peat at all, as long as the end result is the same: quality plants that are safe, look good, smell fine, with the same water needs and good rooting structure.

Look out for the following logos on our growing media products:

Dragon Fly – produced by a full member of the Growing Media Initiative, Dragon Fly meets a strict sourcing code and contains less than 50% peat.

FSC – this compost contains wood products from responsibly managed forests and can be traced back from the store, through manufacturing to the forest of origin.

Please do not hesitate to ask a member of staff should you need any assistance on this or any other aspect of your growing media choice.

As part of our recruitment process, Gordale collects and processes personal data relating to job applicants. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect and use that data and to meeting our data protection obligations.

What information does Gordale collect?

During the recruitment process we collect a range of information about you. This includes:

  • your name, address and contact details, including email address and telephone number
  • details of your qualifications, skills, experience and employment history
  • information about your current level of remuneration, including benefit entitlements
  • whether or not you have a disability for which the organisation needs to make reasonable adjustments during the recruitment process
  • information about your entitlement to work in the UK

We collect this information in a variety of ways, e.g. data might be contained in application forms or CV, passports or other identity documents, or collected through interviews. We may also collect personal data about you from third parties, such as references supplied by former employers. We will only seek information from third parties once a job offer has been made and will inform you that we are doing so. Data is stored in a range of different places, including on your application records, HR filing systems and on IT systems.

Why does Gordale process personal data?

If successful at interview, we need to process data in order to enter into a contract with you and in some cases, we need to process data to ensure that we comply with our legal obligations e.g. to check a successful applicant’s eligibility to work in the UK before employment starts. We have a legitimate interest in processing personal data during the recruitment process and for keeping records of the process. Processing data from job applicants allows us to manage the recruitment process, assess and confirm a candidate’s suitability for employment and decide who to offer a job to. During the recruitment we process health information where we need to make reasonable adjustments for candidates who have a disability.

Who has access to data?

Your information will be shared internally for the purposes of the recruitment exercise. We will not share your data with third parties, unless your application for employment is successful and we make you an offer of employment. We will then share your data with former employers to obtain references for you. The organisation will not transfer your data outside the European Economic Area.

How does Gordale protect data?

We take the security of your data seriously and have internal policies and controls in place to ensure that your data is not lost, accidentally destroyed, misused or disclosed, and is not accessed except by our employees in the proper performance of their duties.

For how long does Gordale keep data?

If your application for employment is successful, personal data gathered during the recruitment process will be transferred to your personnel file and retained during your employment. The period for which your data will be held will be provided to you in a privacy notice.

If your application for employment is unsuccessful, and you agree to us keeping your data on file, we will hold your data for 6 months in case there are future employment opportunities to which you are suited. At the end of that period, your data will be deleted/destroyed. If you do not consent to us holding your data, your details will be deleted/destroyed immediately following an unsuccessful application.

Your rights

As a data subject, you have a number of rights. You can:

  • access and obtain a copy of your data on request;
  • require us to change incorrect or incomplete data;
  • require us to delete or stop processing your data, for example where the data is no longer necessary for the purposes of processing;
  • object to the processing of your data where we rely on our legitimate interests as the legal ground for processing; and
  • ask us to stop processing data for a period if data is inaccurate or there is a dispute about whether or not your interests override the organisation’s legitimate grounds for processing data.

If you would like to exercise any of these rights, you can contact our HR Manager.

What if you do not provide personal data?

You are under no statutory or contractual obligation to provide data to us during the recruitment process. However, if you do not provide the information, we may not be able to process your application properly, or at all.
