Construction, and its related activities, are essential to the maintenance and development of a healthy and prosperous society. Indeed much of the work we carry out has a direct impact on improving the environment and social conditions for communities. However, we recognise that our activities, and materials used, can have a detrimental effect in these areas.
The management of Acorn Building Services Ltd recognise the environmental implications of their activities and are committed to ensuring that high operational standards are achieved, improved upon and maintained to ensure a high level of environmental care. We undertake to monitor and revise where necessary, all of our procedures and practices which affect the environment and will improve these procedures where required to prevent environmental damage and pollution.
The management will commit to:
(a) Comply with all relevant current environmental legislation and industry standards and will ensure that all staff and operatives are equally aware of the commitment.
(b) Promote environmental awareness, practices and procedures throughout operations and ensure that operatives and sub contractors are suitably trained in environmental issues where necessary.
(c) Arrange for all materials to be handled and disposed of in a safe and responsible manner, to minimise environmental damage and pollution.
(d) Cause the impact of the Company’s operations on the environment, the local community and the general public to be controlled in such a manner that the short and long term effects are minimised.
(e) Promote and develop improved standards and methods of working, to ensure efficient use of construction materials and energy; and to minimise waste.
(f) Seek opportunities to reduce impact through the sourcing and procurement of materials and services.
(g) Accommodate customer environmental requirements and standards within established practices and procedures.
(h) Establish objectives and targets and track performance against these in order to drive continual improvement of environmental performance.
We all have a personal responsibility to maintain and improve the environment in which we live. This Company expects all of its personnel and partners to contribute to the fulfilment of this Environmental Policy.
