Environmental Policy

International standards specify that coherent environmental policies will apply to all types of businesses. The success of these polices depends on the commitment of individuals at all levels of the company to operate by them.

• Expected changes in regulations and legislation.
• Environmental aspects of products and services.
• Resource consumption (energy, fuels, materials).
• Waste minimisation, recycling initiatives.
• Use of hazardous processes.
• Use and disposal of hazardous materials and products.
• Transport policy.

Our environmental management system will be designed to enable the organisation to maximize the beneficial effects and to minimize the adverse affects. In the case of adverse affects emphasis should be placed on prevention, rather than on detection after occurrence (this could mean – clean up oil spills, liming of acidified waters, or treatment contaminated land etc.)

The system should:

• Identify and evaluate the environmental affects arising from the organizations existing or proposed activities, products or services, to determine those of significance.
• Identify and evaluate the environmental affects arising from incidents, accidents and potential emergency situations.
• Identify the relevant legislative and regulatory requirements.
• Enable priorities to be identified and pertinent environmental objectives and targets to be set.
• Facilitate planning, control monitoring, corrective action, auditing and review activities to ensure both that the policy is complied with and that it remains relevant.
• Be capable of evolution to suit changing requirements.
• Minimise waste and encourage recycling and reuse.
• Initiate an energy efficient transport policy by using vehicles that limit damage to the environment to the minimum.

It is this company’s objective to achieve and demonstrate sound environmental standards, this in light of increasing legislation and other measures to ensure we work in harmony with our environment.
