Environmental Policy
Bekstone recognises that it has an obligation to help protect the environment and the neighbourhoods in which we operate. This awareness is a fundamental part of our business strategy and we will seek, as far as is reasonably practicable, to minimise the company's effects on our immediate and wider environment:
We are committed to:
- Ensuring environmental issues are considered carefully at all levels when planning and conducting business activities.
- We comply with all applicable regulatory requirements and work cooperatively with regulatory bodies, including the Environment Agency and our Local Authorities to ensure a continued awareness of changes in environmental legislation.
- Our employees understand and act in accordance with our environmental aims.
- We provide an environmentally friendly range of products and will inform customers of any health and safety impacts associated directly with our products.
- Our natural stone products are sourced from ethically and environmentally mindful quarry operators who adopt the Ethical Trading Initiative's codes of practice.
- We minimise the environmental health and safety risks to our employees.
- We manage our activities in line with best business practice to control the impact on the local community of noise, dust, light emissions and traffic movements.
- We seek to reduce energy consumption and water usage at our premises and make the most effective use of our delivery vehicles in line with business activities.
