ENVIROMENTAL POLICY

P F Burridge & Sons Ltd is a private family-owned construction and maintenance company based in the North East of England. The company recognises its responsibilities to assess and minimise the impact of its business operations on the environment and to prevent pollution. We are committed to compliance with all legal and other relevant requirements in all our activities, and we strive for continuous improvement in all areas of our business.

Site preparation and construction operations are closely monitored in conjunction with Local Authorities and the Environmental Agency. We aim to work closely with designers and contractors to address issues arising from on-site activities, minimising any disruption to local communities and encouraging efficiency.

In delivering these commitments we aim to prevent pollution from our operations and will monitor and report progress against agreed targets and objectives.

We will:

• Work closely with our suppliers to ensure that care is taken in the selection of materials and products through regard for their environmental performance.
• Minimise, reuse, recycle and recover waste from our business operations
• Reduce our impact on climate change by conserving scarce and non-renewable resources, such as energy, in all operations and continuously improving our construction methods
• Continue to minimise environmental risks by raising employees' awareness, employing safe technologies and operating procedures and by conducting regular checks of practices and procedures and respond to any deficiencies identified through a planned programme of remedial action.
• Continue to be attentive to the needs of local residents and ecology so as far as our operational activities are concerned.
• Commit management resources to implement this Environmental Policy by the introduction of an effective system throughout all P.F. Burridge & Sons Ltd.

Copies of this Environmental Policy may be obtained from our web site and from published reports. We invite your comments as a stakeholder and hope that they will assist us in keeping our annual policy review up to date.
