Environmental Protection Policy Statement - Stuarts Screeding Ltd.

Commitment

We are very conscious of the need to protect the Environment and Ecosystem from any damage as a result of our operation. We are committed to achieving the highest standards of environmental performance and continually improve. We acknowledge that our operations have a direct and indirect environmental impact and aim to minimise them and operate in an environmentally responsible manner.

We will comply with current leglisation as a minimum.

General Policy

We believe that a sensitive and good management approach to these matters will reduce the impact of our operations on the Environment to the benefit of everyone in the vicinity of our works. The very nature of our Construction Operations inevitably creates dust, noise, waste, gaseous emissions, water and silt etc., all of which need to be assessed and controlled. A proactive approach will be taken in ensuring the environmental damage is minimised during our works and that appropriate steps are taken to prevent pollution.
