- developing practices which have minimal environmental impact and are safe in their intended use. Our considerations will include spillage prevention, waste management (reduce, re‐use, recycle strategies), natural resource consumption, and the introduction of energy efficiency practices;
- conducting and supporting the assessment of the environmental impacts of new products and services before starting a new activity or project;
- working with suppliers and contractors to minimise the impact of their operations on the environment;
- carrying out work with due consideration for the local residents and ecology;
- communicating openly with employees, subcontractors and all interested parties, on environmental issues, anticipating and responding to their concerns about potential hazards and impacts of operations, products, wastes and services;
- promoting wider understanding of environmental issues amongst our employees through communications and training and encouraging them to participate in and contribute to environmental initiatives;
- measuring environmental performance by conducting regular environmental audits and assessments of compliance with this policy statement, legal and Company requirements; and reviewing and revising the policy and procedures at regular intervals and at least annually.
