Environmental Policy Statement
AWB & Son is committed to leading the industry in minimising the impact of its activities on the environment. In order to achieve this, we guarantee all activities carried out by AWB & Son or AWB & Son employees will be completed in accordance with current, relevant environmental laws and regulations. This environmental policy outlines how AWB & Son plan to accomplish this commitment.
Our Aims:
- Comply with all relevant regulatory requirements
- Continually improve and monitor environmental performance
- Continually improve and reduce environmental impacts
- Incorporate environmental factors into business decisions
- Increase employee awareness and training
The key points of our environmental policy are as follows:
- Minimise toxic emissions through the selection and use of its fleet and the source of it’s power requirement
- Actively promote recycling both internally and amongst its clients and suppliers. Including recycling packaging, waste paper and card, printer cartridges, and other waste materials wherever possible
- Source and promote a product range to minimise the environmental impact of both production and distribution. One such example of this can be seen with our use of Protecta Eco-Foil System Acrylic
- Meet or exceed all the environmental legislation that relates to the Company
- Minimise the effect of non-recyclable waste by firstly minimising the use of non-recyclables where possible and disposing of the necessary non-recyclables in a safe and responsible manner according to product disposal instructions / current government guidelines
- Reduce the use of paper by using electronic documentation where possible. This can be seen with our reporting software Boris which allows us to go paper-free when on site
- Ensure our staff are aware of the environmental impacts of their work activities and encourage them through regular awareness and training to minimise those impacts
By sticking to these principles AWB & Son recognises its role in the protection of the environment and hopes to promote the issues currently affecting the environment by encouraging suppliers and customers to adopt similar policies if not already in place
This Policy Statement will be displayed at the AWB & Son Office for all to see and will be made available to the public and other interested parties upon request. The Environmental Policy document will also be available on our reporting system for reference by any employee as required. The Environmental Policy document will be continually monitored for improvement and will be formally reviewed annually.
