Environmental Policy Statement
The SGi-SEV group is a professional and environmentally conscious organisation, which acknowledges the impact that our operations have on the environment. Our clear objective is to minimise our impact on the environment and to continually improve our environmental performance by:
· Preventing pollution, reducing waste and ensuring that, wherever practical, measures are implemented to protect and preserve natural habitats, flora and fauna;
· Considering the effects that our operations may have on the local community;
· Taking action to eliminate, reduce or control any potentially adverse environmental impacts;
· Promoting environmental awareness amongst our suppliers and contractors by implementation of operational procedures;
· Ensuring effective and expedient incident control, investigation and reporting;
· Complying with applicable environmental legislation.
Management and supervisory staff have responsibilities for the implementation of the policy and must ensure that environmental issues are given adequate consideration in the planning and day-to-day supervision of all work.
All employees, suppliers and sub-contractors are expected to co-operate and assist in the implementation of this policy, whilst ensuring that their own works are carried out without risk to the environment. This includes co-operating with management on any environmentally related matter.
We will take all practical steps to ensure that potential hazards and risks to the environment are identified and that suitable and effective preventive and control measures are implemented. All employees will be provided with the necessary resources, equipment, information, instruction and training to fulfil the requirements of this policy.
The Managing Director has overall responsibility for all environmental matters. The operation of this policy and the associated procedures, objectives and targets will be monitored and reviewed on a regular basis. This policy has been endorsed by the Managing Director and members of the Senior Management Team who give their full support to its implementation.
