Enviromental Policy

V E Parrott (Oakley) Limited is a construction company engaged in new and refurbishment building and civil engineering in both public and private sector. We recognise that our activities have an impact on the environment in terms of waste generation, the use of raw materials and emissions to air and water.

We are committed to minimising the environmental impact of our activities and to the continual improvement of our environmental performance. To ensure this we maintain an Environmental Management System which meets the requirements of ISO14001:2004 as a minimum. We endeavour to do this by:

• Complying with all relevant UK and EU environmental legislation, regulations and industry Codes of Practice.

• Minimising noise levels, traffic nuisance, emission of pollutants and disturbance to the public, local and global eco-systems, wildlife habitats and preservation of heritage.

• Ensuring, where possible, the incorporation of practicable features that minimise the impact of our works on the environment.

• Preventing pollution, reducing waste and maximising the efficient use of materials and energy.

• Minimising waste by actively promoting the use of sustainable, re-usable and re-cyclable products and implementing re-cycling initiatives.

• Servicing our vehicles regularly to maintain their efficiency, minimise their use of fuel and their emissions of noxious gases into the environment.

• Developing a culture in which protection of the environment is a common objective shared with clients, contractors, suppliers, partners and the communities in which we operate.

• Maintaining liaison and good relationships with the local communities in which we work and registering our sites with the Considerate Constructors scheme, where appropriate.

• Ensuring that all our employees read and understand this Policy, the environmental impacts of our business and provide environmental training appropriate to their responsibilities.

• Auditing and undertaking six monthly reviews of the effectiveness of this Environmental Policy and its associated procedures, measurement methods, objectives and targets to ensure compliance with our environmental obligations.

This Environmental Policy is made available to all those who work for and on behalf of the Company, our customers, suppliers and interested third parties, upon request.
