Environmental Policy
The Company recognises its responsibilities for the wider environment and to the local community. It is committed to comply with all relevant environmental legislation at local, regional and national level as a minimum performance, and with any higher environmental requirements of the Company’s clients, and to continually improve environmental performance through appropriate initiatives, controls, provision of resources and training of employees. The aim is to minimise adverse impacts on the environment of the Company’s activities and services.
An Environmental Management System has been established that complies with the International Standard ISO 14001:2004. This integrates environmental understanding and control into other systems and procedures under the direction of the Company’s Executive Board with the support of all employees, suppliers and contractors.
Management objectives and targets are established and reviewed on a regular basis to implement the Environmental Policy. These are based on a commitment to six environmental principles:
· Prevention or mitigation of pollution
· Minimal usage of energy and materials and production of waste
· Effective and responsible waste management and disposal
· Promoting re-use and recycling of products
· Maintaining high awareness of environmental issues
· Seeking to influence suppliers, contractors and clients on environmental issues
The effectiveness of the Environmental Management System is monitored and maintained by regular audit and Management review.
This Environmental Policy is communicated to all employees and made available to interested parties on request.
