Our policies

What makes us different? Our core values are the ingredients of our successes and at the heart of everything we do:

• Our Customer – engaged in our commitment to working towards a sustainable future
• Our Team – committed, knowledgeable and passionate about the environment

In order to remain focused and continually strive for improvement, Represent has established a Green Action Plan (GAP). This has been designed to set up the guidelines and steps to follow in order to improve Represent’s sustainability and resource efficiency.

The GAP sets out specific targets and timelines for their completion, as well as a senior staff member responsible for monitoring completion. The GAP will be monitored every month at the monthly Green Team meetings in order to assess the implementation of the described measure. The GAP will be reviewed every six months to ensure it is updated where appropriate.

We have made significant efforts to reduce our carbon footprint and the amount of waste that we send to landfill. Environmental objectives form an integral part of our Business Plan and we aim to become a sustainable business through our work in the following areas:

• Waste Management
• Energy Management
• Green Team

We acknowledge and endorse all current waste regulations and try to exceed them as an example of best practice in the industry when possible.

• Paper, cardboard, cans, plastics, ink cartridges and batteries are among the items we recycle.

Our energy consumption is continually monitored to improve our energy efficiency and we have taken the following steps:

• Centrally controlled air conditioning in all areas.
• Heating and lighting is isolated or switched off in areas that are not being used

We ensure that our suppliers are aware of our environmental goals and have their own environmental policies in place. We monitor their performance to ensure the goods and services they provide meet our environmental objectives.

Our visitors can help us sustain the environment by:

• Passing on any waste to staff for recycling;
• Use public transport links to reach us;
• Using only the water you need in our bathrooms.

Represent’s green team is made up from representatives in the business. The green team meet once a month and are responsible for ensuring Represent achieves its environmental goals.

The green team monitor and review Represent’s sustainable environment aims and achievements as compiled in the Green Action Plan. Projects and issues are then assigned to our Green Champion to investigate, achieve and monitor. To ensure we are always achieving our targets, monthly checks are completed by our department heads and these are then reviewed at the green meetings where progress is monitored and achievements rewarded.

We demonstrate a strong commitment to sustainable best practice believing it is essential to reduce the impact on the environment. Represent is committed to reducing its negative effect on the planet with significant efforts being made to reduce carbon footprint and the amount of waste that it sends to landfill. Environmental objectives form an integral part of the Company’s Business Plan, as does its Environmental Policy.

We intend to inform our suppliers and contractors of our environmental policies and will monitor their performance to ensure that the goods and services they provide meet our environmental objectives.

Our clients are made aware of our initiatives and we encourage them to help us achieve our environmental goals and objectives.

Our employees will be provided with the information, instruction and training necessary to fulfil the requirements of our policy.

Our policy is monitored and reviewed to ensure its effectiveness and will be revised where necessary.

At Represent, quality is our number one priority. That said, we are conscious that our purchases can have an impact that is felt thousands of miles away, economically, socially, and environmentally. As such, we are committed to sourcing produce that is local and sustainably sourced.

As a purchaser we will take into account what impact it will have on the local and wider environment.

• Represent will aim to buy environmentally and socially responsible products.
• The welfare of animals and the environment are important to us. We aim to make a difference by buying products that show this commitment.
• We aim to reduce waste and other negative impacts on the environment.
• Where possible we use Fair Trade produce.

Represent is proud to support Scottish businesses and the local economy.

Represent recognises the potential economic, social and environmental impact our purchases can have around the world. As such we are committed to buying fair-trade wherever possible. These fair-trade purchases contribute to supporting the development of thriving farming and worker communities, empowering the local communities. We are constantly looking at ways in which we can improve our ethical contribution and have recently made the decision that all of our tea, coffee and sugar will be sourced as fair-trade.

How we get our products is just as important as where we get them from. Represent strives to use products that are sustainably produced.

As an example of our commitment to accessibility, Represent’s Office take the level of accessibility we provide very seriously and pride ourselves on the measures we take.  We constantly review accessibility provision and are committed to investment in updated services and facilities..

The approach to the front entrance is at level access.

The reception and main entrance has a hard, slip resistant floor and is well lit.

We have accessible toilets in the reception area.

At Represent, we recognise that we have environmental responsibility and are committed to working towards a sustainable future, aiming to become one of the environmentally friendly venues in Scotland.

Our policy is to recycle as much waste as the local facilities allow. Our staff also separate bottles, cans and papers collected. We take the obvious steps like using energy saving lightbulbs and we are always looking for new ways to reduce our environmental impact.

Represent’s Data Protection Policy

The security and privacy of your data is taken seriously by us, but we need to gather and use information or ‘data’ about you as part of our business and to manage our relationship with you. We are committed to complying with all our Data Protection legal obligations

This policy applies to current and former employees, workers, volunteers, interns, apprentices and consultants.  If you fall into one of these categories, then you are a ‘data subject’ for the purposes of this policy. You should read this policy alongside your contract of employment (or contract for services) and any other notice we issue to you from time to time in relation to your data.

Represent has separate policies and privacy notices in place in respect of job applicants, customers, suppliers and other categories of data subject. A copy of these can be obtained from Shirley Murray.

Represent has taken steps to protect the security of your data in accordance with our Data Protection Policy and will train staff about their data protection responsibilities as part of the induction process. We will only hold data for as long as necessary for the purposes for which we collected it.

The Company is a ‘data controller’ for the purposes of your personal data. This means that we determine the purpose and means of the processing of your personal data.

This policy explains how the Company will hold and process your information.  It explains your rights as a data subject. It also explains your obligations when obtaining, handling, processing or storing personal data in the course of working for, or on behalf of, the Company.

This policy does not form part of your contract of employment (or contract for services if relevant) and can be amended by the Company at any time.

Data Protection Principles

Personal data must be processed in accordance with six ‘Data Protection Principles.’ It must:

• be processed fairly, lawfully and transparently;
• be collected and processed only for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes;
• be adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary for the purposes for which it is processed;
• be accurate and kept up to date. Any inaccurate data must be deleted or rectified without delay;
• not be kept for longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it is processed; and
• be processed securely.

We are accountable for these principles and must be able to show that we are compliant.

How we define personal data

‘Personal data’ means information which relates to a living person who can be identified from that data (a ‘data subject’) on its own, or when taken together with other information which is likely to come into our possession. It includes any expression of opinion about the person and an indication of the intentions of us or others, in respect of that person. It does not include anonymised data.

This policy applies to all personal data whether it is stored electronically, on paper or on other materials.

This personal data might be provided to us by you, or someone else (such as a former employer, your doctor, or a credit reference agency), or it could be created by us. It could be provided or created during the recruitment process or during the course of the contract of employment (or services) or after its termination. It could be created by your manager or other colleagues.

The types of personal data we collect and use about you is included in the Privacy Notice that is issued with your contract of employment.

How we define special categories of personal data

‘Special categories of personal data’ are types of personal data consisting of information as to:

• your racial or ethnic origin;
• your political opinions;
• your religious or philosophical beliefs;
• your trade union membership;
• your genetic or biometric data;
• your health;
• your sex life and sexual orientation; and
• any criminal convictions and offences.

We may hold and use any of these special categories of your personal data, as detailed in the Privacy Notice, in accordance with the law.

How we define processing

‘Processing’ means any operation which is performed on personal data such as:

• collection, recording, organisation, structuring or storage;
• adaption or alteration;
• retrieval, consultation or use;

• restriction, destruction or erasure.

This includes processing personal data which forms part of a filing system and any automated processing.

How will we process your personal data

The Company will process your personal data (including special categories of personal data). We will use your personal data for:

• performing the contract of employment (or services) between us;
• complying with any legal obligation; or
• if it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or for the legitimate interests of someone else). However, we can only do this if your interests and rights do not override ours (or theirs). You have the right to challenge our legitimate interests and request that we stop this processing.

We can process your personal data for these purposes without your knowledge or consent. We will not use your personal data for an unrelated purpose without telling you about it and the legal basis that we intend to rely on for processing it.

Examples of when we might process your personal data can be found in the Privacy Notice. We will only process special categories of your personal data in certain situations in accordance with the law. For example, we can do so if we have your explicit consent. If we asked for your consent to process a special category of personal data then we would explain the reasons for our request. You do not need to consent and can withdraw consent later if you choose by contacting Shirley Murray.

We do not need your consent to process special categories of your personal data when we are processing it for the following purposes, which we may do:

Sharing your personal data

Sometimes we might share your personal data with group companies or our business partners, contractors and agents to carry out our obligations under our contract with you or for our legitimate interests.

We require those companies to keep your personal data confidential and secure and to protect it in accordance with the law and our policies. They are only permitted to process your data for the lawful purpose for which it has been shared and in accordance with our instructions.

We do not send your personal data outside the European Economic Area. If this changes you will be notified of this and the protections which are in place to protect the security of your data will be explained.
