Reducing our Environmental Impact

Ireland's economy is changing from one largely influenced by the construction sector to one which is more influenced by SMEs. There are currently 160,000 SMEs in Ireland and these will have to play a leading role in Ireland's future economy and also in reducing Ireland's emissions. It is therefore important that policies are adopted to limit their influence on climate change. In order to do this, SMEs need to understand how their operations can impact on climate change, the potential impact of climate change on SMEs, and the practical actions that they can take to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.

Oman moving and storage accepts that by our very nature as a logistics company our business is not one of the most environmentally friendly businesses, however we firmly believe it is our duty to make every effort possible to reduce our impact on the environment and strive to positively affecting the way we conduct our business. To facilitate this and to ensure that we make every effort possible we have adopted a number of initiatives through a working committee formed by the staff,

  1. The building is powered by Airtricity.
  2. We are upgrading our fleet with new vehicles fitted with an Adblu system which reduces our vehicle emissions plus makes our fleet more fuel efficient.
  3. The majority of our old fleet is in the process of being fitted with an Adblu system.
  4. Our fleet is GPS tracked and our driver's are directed away from traffic congested areas to freeflowing routes, improves efficiency and reduces our emissions.
  5. Our stationery is printed on FSC certified 100% recycled paper.
  6. The packing material we use is manufactured from recycled material.
  7. Redundant furniture is recycled rather than dumped.
  8. All waste packing material is recycled.
