We only have one world, so lets respect and take care of it together. In 2016, 203.62 million tons of garbage was disposed in China. We each have the power to send less plastic and garbage to the streets and landfills, and waste less energy.

Thread is committed to continually improving our environmental performance. If you have any suggestions, reach out to the management team or share your ideas during the Monday morning meeting.

We Will:

• integrate the consideration of environmental concerns and impacts into all of our decision
  making and activities,
• promote environmental awareness among our employees and encourage them to work in an
  environmentally responsible manner,
• train, educate and inform our employees about environmental issues that may affect their
  work,
• reduce waste through re-use and recycling and by purchasing recycled, recyclable or refurbished
  products and materials where these alternatives are available, economical and
  suitable,
• promote efficient use of materials and resources throughout our facility including water,
  electricity, raw materials and other resources, particularly those that are non-renewable,
• purchase and use environmentally responsible products accordingly,
•  communicate our environmental commitment to suppliers, clients, customers and the public
  and encourage them to support it,
•  strive to continually improve our environmental performance and minimise the social impact
  and damage of activities by periodically reviewing our environmental policy in light of our
  current and planned future activities.
