Introduction
Our focus is on surpassing our clients’ requirements; however, we strongly believe that this should not be at the expense of the environment.
Our aim is to provide effective environmental awareness and controls, seeking to continually improve all aspects of our environmental performance. Our policy forms the basis for setting environmental objectives that will continually improve the manner in which we operate.
Our objectives
- To comply with the requirements of environmental legislation and requirements
- To identify and minimise the risks to the environment from our activities
- To provide our employees with the relevant training in environmental legislation, policy and procedures
- To identify and encourage the most efficient use of energy, materials and services and where possible, minimising and eliminating pollution and waste
To achieve these objectives our policy is to:
- Provide training to staff at all levels to understand and contribute to the implementation of this policy
- Regularly review our activities, identifying aspects which could have a significant impact on the environment and seek improvement of environmental issues where necessary
- Seek to use sustainable, recyclable or reusable products, adopt the principles of prevention of pollution, waste reduction and efficient use of energy and materials whilst encouraging our working partners to do the same
- Minimise the risks of environmental incidents by preparing and implementing appropriate risk management measures and in conjunction with the appropriate authorities, we will ensure an emergency response capability to deal with accidental pollution
- Minimise noise and vibration levels, emission of pollutants and traffic nuisance
- Minimise disturbance to the public and local ecosystem and take steps to preserve our heritage and wildlife habitats
This policy outlines our commitment to minimising the adverse environmental impact from our activities and is continually under review.
