Environmentally responsible v environmentally friendly
Nowadays politicians from the mainstream parties have jumped on the environmental bandwagon. Since its inception in the 1990s the company has always strived to ensure that it produces a minimal impact on the environment by both our choice of products and our method of using them.
Many companies claim to use 'environmentally friendly' products but what is meant by that? The words are often vacuous. Any chemical product will have an impact on the environment and 'environmentally friendly' products may be 'less bad', rather than per se good for the environment. There is a trade off between good results and damage to the environment. So we try to balance the two issues and choose to say that we are 'environmentally responsible' in that we choose our chemicals with care and use the optimum dose of the relevant chemicals to achieve the best results with the least possible damage to the world around us.
