Environmental impact on communities is key to our decision-making and operating processes.
We recognise that sustainability, including the reduction of waste together with recycling and the increased use of recycled materials is critical to all our futures.
We work with our customers and supply chain in improving sustainable procurement, and ensure that we consider the impacts on the environment and the people we come into contact with, whilst conducting our business.
Procast’s commitment to Environmental Management is underlined by the development and maintenance of our Environmental Management System (EMS) which has been assessed, evaluated and accredited with ISO 14001:2004, and together with our knowledge gained through membership of the ‘Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment’ (IEMA), use these to support and guide us with our environmental responsibilities and help ensure our compliance with all relevant statutory regulations and promotes ‘best practice’ environmental practices.
We continually monitor our environmental impact, with a view to reducing it year on year through:
- Reducing our carbon footprint through:
- Using only ‘Eco’ standard low-mileage vehicles
- All vehicles maintained to manufacturer’s specifications and operate at optimum performance
- Investigating the benefits of ‘dual-fuel’ vehicles
- Operate ‘Fleetmatics’, a leading provider of GPS fleet management systems that delivers enhanced fleet management
- Monitoring our fuel use and trends, introduce more efficient route scheduling and analysing driving performances
- Reduce our carbon footprint by better management of natural resources and energy usage equally in our head office, depot and sites
- Formulating and developing site-specific ‘Waste Management Plans’ for every project, with reducing waste and recovering materials an integral part of these plans with the ultimate aim of reducing waste going to landfill by 100%
- Identification and mitigation of any environmental pollution and effects on biodiversity that results from our business
- Responsible and Sustainable Procurement Principles.
