Our values
We consider caring for the environment and wider communities to be two of the single most important challenges confronting companies today.
We consider caring for the environment and wider communities to be two of the single most important challenges confronting companies today.
Like so many businesses, our activities invariably have both a direct and indirect impact on our society and the environment. We are all too aware of this and as such are committed to managing – and where possible reducing - these impacts responsibly.
To this end we endeavour to conduct our business according to the following principles:
- Improving fuel efficiency of our vehicle fleet by reviewing vehicle design, finding ways to improve our ‘miles per gallon’, using lower emission fuels and ensuring our vehicles are monitored to operate at the optimum level of efficiency
- Through effective route planning we aim to reduce the distance travelled by our vehicle fleet and always strive to optimise our vehicle fill
- To cut absolute carbon emissions from both our buildings and our vehicles by 10%
- To improve waste management so that at least 90% of our waste is recycled
- To consistently achieve 95% or above on our health and safety scorecard performance
- To drive product innovations in a bid to reduce the environmental impact of our operation even further
- To achieve full ISO 14001 compliance at all sites
- To fulfil the obligations we signed up to as set out in the UN Global Compact
In our view corporate social responsibility includes voluntary actions of best practice as well as the need to meet legislation and we aim to work in a way that proactively makes a positive difference to our community and the environment, wherever possible.
