- Finding new methods of waste disposal that are more environmentally acceptable than existing methods
- Reducing energy usage to a minimum level, where possible
- Advising customers on the company’s environmental policy and the best practice use of hired goods that may have an impact on the environment
- Assessing suppliers’ compliance with the company’s environmental policy
- Maintaining a ‘good neighbour’ approach to the local community and aim to support local environmental initiatives where possible
- Carrying out environmental impact assessments as part of any new initiative on the part of the company
As part of this environmental policy, the company will appoint Mr Russell Gould a director to act as an environmental officer. He will be responsible for implementing this policy and for its effective communication to all staff, customers and suppliers.
