Environmental Policy

We are committed to excellence in all aspects of our business. This includes environmental protection, which we consider an integral part of our operations.

We regard Government legislation and the Company policy as minimum standards, which should be improved upon wherever it is reasonable to do so.

We recognise that environmental protection is essential to the well-being of staff, the local populace and the natural habitat of wildlife and will do our best to protect them.

We accept that we have a duty of care as producers of waste to ensure that those acting on behalf of the Company for waste disposal are competent to do so, discharge their own duties correctly and are able to prove this by means of the appropriate documentation and checks.

We have adopted a policy to ensure that we recycle waste whenever it is reasonable to do so and are constantly striving to set the standards against which others may benchmark. The Company waste management plan will be used to achieve this.

We encourage our suppliers and customers to adopt the best possible environmental practices.

In adopting this policy the company commits to the provision of the requisite resources, priorities and training to fulfil its obligations. In commending this policy to employees, the Company seeks to encourage a full sense of shared responsibility for the protection of the environment.
