Not just Environment...
EnvironmentPLUS
At ABCO, we work to the highest standards of environmental compliance and management, operating to ISO14001 accredited environmental management systems.
And, as in everything we do, it is our policy to develop continuous improvement across all of our environment activities, products and services.
Minimising Waste to Landfill
We aim to continuously improve the diversion of non-hazardous waste to get ever closer to zero as part of our drive for sustainability and cost–efficiency. Included in this goal is:
- Setting targets and enabling good practice for reducing our corporate waste from our offices – paper and print materials being a key focus.
- Making sure waste performance is included in our Annual Management Reviews, with new, more ambitious targets set each year.
Promote reduction of waste, re-use of materials and recycling across our business
As part of our commitment to work towards sending zero waste to landfill, we actively encourage and support everyone working in our business to find effective ways to reduce waste.
Ensure Zero Pollution Incidents on our Sites
To maintain our 100% record of no recordable pollution incidents we ensure the company Environmental Management System is implemented to the highest standards and integrated into our work at every level.
Sourcing Responsibly
Our Sustainable Procurement policy mandates the selection of products with the lowest environmental impact. This includes the use of non-hazardous and/or reusable materials, wherever practical.
Protecting Biodiversity
We are committed to protecting and, wherever possible, enhancing the natural environment on and around our sites and offices. To ensure our projects fully understand their responsibilities, we deliver ‘environmental campaigns’ on new projects.
We believe in:
-
Evaluating the entire environmental aspects of our projects
-
Proactively protecting, preserving and enhancing wildlife/ flora and their habitats
-
Engaging our supply chain in improving their environmental performance and responsible sourcing
-
Enhancing employee understanding of environmental sustainability
