We are fully committed to improving our environmental procedures and we are fully accredited in line with ISO 14001:2004.
As a result of our robust waste management we were awarded the “Vision in Business for the Environment of Scotland (VIBES) Award 2010, in the Best Medium category”.Our commitment to the environment is reflected in the award winning processes and practices we undertake in order to achieve our environmental objectives “minimising our impact on the environment”.
In March 2013 we invested in solar panels at our Head Office, we now generate 23% of our own electricity.
Each year our directors set progressive divisional targets for our waste and recycling levels. Our percentage diversion from landfill has remained at 85% in both 2012/2013 and 2013/2014.
We have gained significant experience in designing and implementing sustainable products and technologies. This has included:
We have further developed our procedures through working on BREEAM projects where we have implemented whole life costing; green travel plans for both site workers and deliveries; setting of targets to reduce the travel distance of materials to enhance the local economy and reducing overall CO2 levels.
