Environmental Policy

CDS recognise that some of our activities may have an adverse impact on the environment, but we are committed to reducing that impact by seeking continual improvement of our environmental performance and to conduct the operations to a clear and consistent policy for environmental protection.

Specifically we aim to:

Meet all relevant legislation and government guidelines and adopt reasonable measures to prevent water, air, ground, or noise pollution.
Make efficient use of modern plant and techniques to reduce waste with recycling for re‐use wherever possible.
Ensure that all our staff have a good understanding of how our business may affect the environment and what is expected of them to help minimise this impact.
Manage our operations in a manner that will prevent pollution in excess of agreed limits and minimise the impact of our works on the public by adopting good working practices that reduce disturbance and disruption.
Communicate with our neighbours to ensure that our work causes minimum disruption and has minimum impact on the local environment.
Use modern, well‐maintained transport, plant and equipment that are fuel‐efficient and reduce emissions and unnecessary travel.
Involve all of our suppliers in the implementation of this policy.

In particular we will reduce our environmental impact by improvements in:

Raising the environmental awareness of our site operatives and suppliers through induction and training.
Segregating waste streams and separating demolition materials into component parts.
Selecting waste management facilities that operate transfer stations and recycling facilities.
Measuring and seeking to reduce the waste produced on site, vehicle carbon dioxide emissions, and energy and water consumption.

This Environmental Policy is communicated to all workers.
This Environmental Policy is encouraged by the company through effective communication procedures.
