We will undertake to provide the necessary training and support to all employees to ensure that they understand and are able to fulfil the relevant aspects of the policy in their day-to-day work. The policy shall be publicly available. We are committed to minimising the impact of our operations on the environment by means of a programme of continuous improvement and in particular will:
- Set clear objectives and targets with the aim of ensuring continual improvement of the company's environmental performance and management system;
- Conduct our operations to ensure compliance with all relevant environmental legislation;
- Show a continual commitment to the prevention of pollution through the use of operational controls, training and risk assessment;
- Make efficient use of resources, reuse rather than dispose where possible and promote the use of recycled materials;

- Reduce wherever practicable the level of uncontrolled atmospheric emissions;
- Manage and control effluent discharges arising from our operations.
It is our duty to ensure that good environmental management is practised in all projects that we are involved in and we will seek to influence customers to demonstrate a positive environmental commitment.
The Company will communicate the environmental policy to all employees, and it will be freely available to customers, shareholders and the general public.
All Directors, Managers, Supervisors and foremen will enforce the policy. The Managing Director is personally responsible for the environmental performance of the company and signs this policy statement in acknowledgement of this.
