Environmental Policy

Neil Foundations Systems Ltd recognises that protection of the environment is of prime importance. The achievement of a high standard of environmental awareness throughout the Company is not only essential to assist in sustaining and keeping in balance the environment and environmental resource, but also results in healthier and more acceptable conditions for work and social activity. Environmental awareness assists in the enhancement of the Company's reputation as not only a caring employer, but also a Company that is aware of the prospective impact of its activities on the environment. Such awareness creates improvements from which the general public, of this and successive generations, will benefit.

It is the responsibility of everyone to work together to achieve this environmental goal. With this in mind Neil Foundations Systems Ltd will ensure that the Company complies with the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and all other domestic legislation concerned with the protection of natural resources and the external environment. The Company will prepare and enforce policies which, as far as is reasonably practicable and having taken into account project and client requirements, provide for:

• Protection of the environment at/or affected by work sites.
• Conservation of natural resource materials, energy and use of recyclable materials.

To achieve this it will:

• Introduce systems and monitoring procedures which meet the requirements of the policy.
• Guide and assist in the formulation of those systems and procedures and conduct regular internal audits of the monitoring procedures in relation to the stated environmental management objectives.
• Train the workforce in current methods, practice and awareness of the need for environmental protection.
• Provide advisory, communication and training facilities as required.

Neil Miller is the person whose duties are to co-ordinate activity in relation to environmental matters. This Environmental Policy will be reviewed annually.

With the above in mind the following steps have already been taken: -

• Paper is shredded and re-cycled.

• Use of bunded fuel tanks
