The company recognises our key impacts to be in the following areas:
- energy use
- raw material use
- water use
- waste generation
- emissions to air/water
We will strive to:
- Adopt the good environmental practice in all areas of the company, meeting and exceeding all relevant legislative requirements.
- Assess our organisational activities and identify areas where we can minimise impacts (i.e.: through management meetings and consultation with operatives).
- Minimise waste through careful and efficient use of all materials and energy (i.e.: where relevant, recycle materials from decommissioned equipment through a licensed waste handler).
- Purchase sustainable products wherever feasible (e.g., recycled, FSC or low environmental impact products and energy from renewable sources).
- Publicise our environmental position on our website – www.jh-me.co.uk .
- Annually train employees in good environmental practice and encourage employee involvement in environmental action by embedding our Environmental Policy into our employee handbook and general working practices.
- Adopt an environmentally sound transport strategy (i.e., where practicable, use one vehicle for sites which require multiple operatives).
- Aim to include environmental and ethical considerations in investment decisions where appropriate (i.e.: wherever feasible, energy efficient and low carbon products favored over alternative products to improve energy efficiency in buildings).
- To uphold the code of practice set out to meet the waste duty of care requirements issued under section 34(7) of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 (the EPA) in
relation to the duty of care set out in Section 34(1) of that Act. - Assist in developing solutions to environmental problems and continually assess the environmental impact of all our operations.
The Managing Director will ensure that this policy is carried out in full.
This Statement of Intent is reviewed every year.
