VSP: Lean Operations Practice and responsible approach.

At the beginning of 2022 VSP has started to implement new company rules bringing under the company regulations work in terms of lean operations and responsible approach, not only as being part of the business community, but as an integral component of the natural ecocystem, where we all belong.

We have mentioned earlier that at the end of the year we will prepare a report on how we are keeping with our promise—time has come to ‘compare notes’: declarations and real facts.

(1) Early this year VSP carried out an upgrade of all the working tools and devices—all the employees’ computers and mobile phones were replaced for the new ones. This time the obsolete devices were handed over to a specialised computer repaire company on the minimum money compensation basis.

(2) All the disposable batteries used by the employees during the year were disposed of in specialised collection points for further processing. And in cases where it were possible to replace the instruments for the ones with integrated reusable power sources, such a replacement has been done.

(3) The moneys raised by VSP and transferred to a specialised organisation will be spent in the middle of 2023 on planting 115 trees ‘in various regions of Russia for restoration of the affected forests’.

(4) VSP has changed its approach to purchasing consumable materials for the current office operations giving preference to those which could be easily disposed of or processed further.

(5) The company employees make their best to practice the so-called ‘paperless approach’, cutting down not only paper consumption, but cartridges as well, processing of which is a multistep operation.
