We continue to look at our processes and products, to see how we can update or add new ways to ensure a greener version of HMD Opticians.
From not using single use carrier bags, to paperless records, to reusing old lenses, recycling and using greener energy tariffs, each help contribute to this award.
We hope to be taking the next step later in the year as we add new greener initiatives. Watch this space.
