The Board of Directors of E. G. Carter & Company Limited has recognised that good environmental practice is of the highest importance to the long term future of both the company and the community as a whole.
This good practice extends to our relationships with our customers and suppliers.
In order to ensure a professional environmental practice, the Company has implemented and maintains an Environmental Management System based on the requirements of ISO 14001 - 2004.
Our policy towards the effective management of the environment is as follows:-
We will, at all times, comply with mandatory legal requirements for all activities and processes carried out at all of our offices and sites and use whatever influence we can to promote the same to all suppliers and sub-contractors performing activities on our behalf, whether on or off site.
We intend, as a primary objective, to continually reduce and, wherever possible, prevent pollution resulting from the company’s activities and processes.
We will utilise the full potential of our workforce by providing all necessary training and a working environment that promotes safe and clean working practices.
We shall continually monitor our activities and processes in order to ensure efficient use of resources and to identify actual or potential sources of pollution with a view to implementing controls and necessary emergency response procedures thus minimising waste generation, environmental impact and nuisance to neighbours.
On an annual basis, we will review the environmental performance of the Company in order to:-
i) Ensure compliance with the requirements of legislation and our Environmental Policy Management System
ii) Identify areas for improvement, set specific objectives for the company and, wherever possible, target dates for achievement.
