At QTCo we are committed to corporate environmental responsibility. Being community focused and conscious of the environment we live and work in, we consider social and environmental considerations through every step of our operations.

Social Responsibility

At QTCo we are committed to corporate environmental responsibility. Being community focused and conscious of the environment we live and work in, we consider social and environmental considerations through every step of our operations.  We aim to demonstrate a superior degree of care, whether it be in our sourcing policy, the support we give our employees or the steps we take to reduce our impact on the environment.

Here’s just some ways in which QTCo are working to not only better themselves as a company, but to better the world in which they live.

Our solar panels

Our Kedron building encompasses 129 solar panels, this contribution of renewable energy drastically reduces QTCo’s power usage.

Eco Friendly inks

We immerse ourselves in the latest innovations, emerging trends and find elements of joy in thinking outside the square! With creative thinking we continue to inspire unique promotional products that grab user attention, promote brand recognition, whilst protecting the environment by using eco friendly inks.

Supporting our community

QTCo gives back to the community where we live and work. Charitable giving via donations of surplus inventory, branded merchandise or monetary assistance are key components of QTCo’s overall corporate sustainability strategy.

Recycling

QTCo focuses on reducing waste generated by our operations. We aim to eliminate, reuse or recycle. Cardboard and paper items are recycled in dedicated bins or reused where possible.  Ink wastage is stored in supplied tanks that are safely collected by an environmental agency.

Equality

QTCo’s strength is its people, their dedication to service levels and their will to excel for their customers. QTCo continue to be committed to the successful delivery of products from inception to completion, maintaining outstanding communication with customers and whenever possible going that little step further to offer customers the 100% ‘care’ factor QTCo is famous for.

Sedex

QTCo is a member of Sedex, the Supplier Ethical Data Exchange. Sedex provides member companies with a secure web-based platform for storing and sharing information on four key pillars: Health and Safety, Labour Standards, Business Ethics and The Environment.  Being a member of Sedex is a sign of QTCo’s willingness to share information and to utilise this information to help manage and improve ethical standards within the supply chain.
