Our policy shows a high level of care for the environment and commitment to protecting our surroundings. We have carefully assessed the effects our activities have on the environment and have created our policy to help us improve our environmental performance continually.

We aim to achieve this by:  

• Complying with legislation and where possible exceeding minimum legal requirements.
• Maintaining effective Environmental Management Systems
• Minimising the environmental risks and preventing pollution
• Reducing the visual impact of our operations
• Promoting the efficient use of transport in all our activities
• Managing our land sensibly and promoting nature conservation

We also recognise that people in and around our business play a part and aim to:

• Educate and train staff to conduct their activities in an environmentally friendly manner
• Inform our suppliers and contractors of our high environmental standards
• Encourage high standards throughout the supply chain
• Encourage all our stakeholders to use energy and resources efficiently

Our environmental performance as set out in this policy is checked regularly against improvement targets and key performance indicators.
