Policy Statement
POLICY AND PRINCIPLES
Our Approach
We operate an Integrated Management System (IMS) that brings together our Health & Safety, Environmental, and Quality standards. This includes detailed procedures for the procurement, delivery, and completion of our works in line with our HSEQ objectives. The system is available to employees, clients, and external stakeholders upon request.
We proactively identify and manage our significant environmental impacts, and share this information with interested parties as appropriate.
Environmental Commitments
We are committed to continuous improvement in both our environmental performance and client satisfaction. To support this, we:
-
Maintain and regularly review the effectiveness of our Integrated Management System;
-
Set clear environmental objectives as part of our annual Management Review and communicate them across the business.
