Environmental Policy

We believe sustainable operations are those that drive efficient resource use and provide a healthy environment, which in turn facilitates social progress and economic growth. As a company we therefore strive to act as responsible stewards of the environment and commit to continual improvement.

To balance these challenging needs we are committed to efficient and effective practices. We recognise that sustainability is the collective responsibility of governments, businesses, individuals and communities and we should work towards to pursue this goal.

In pursuit of this policy, BDL has committed itself to the following:

• Achieve and maintain compliance with the environmental legislation in the UK.
• Continue to prevent and where practicable reduce pollution loads entering the environment.
• Seek to use materials efficiently, and promote the application of the waste hierarchy.
• Conserve and enhance biodiversity wherever practicable or required, through efficient and effective practices.
• Develop our employees awareness of environmental issues including this policy.
• Take an active and positive role in the community

The policy will be periodically reviewed in light of new knowledge, changing legislation and public concerns.
