ENVIRONMENT

Smith Brothers Group has committed to addressing the environmental issues related to our organisation’s activities, products and services. Our environmental policy includes a commitment to prevent pollution from our activities and operations; continuous improvement and compliance with environmental regulations. We educate our employees and contractors on their environmental responsibilities and ensure this is integrated into their work practices, training and decision making.

Environmental Management System

We have an Environmental Management System based on Standard ISO: 14001 to identify and control any risks to the environment before they result in harm; with an appointed Environmental Manager and Implementation & Review Team.

Business Eco-efficiency

Business Eco-efficiency means producing goods and services using less energy and fewer natural resources. This results in less waste and pollution, leading to a reduction in resource costs and environmental impacts. Internationally, ‘eco-efficiency’ has been identified as a way business can contribute to ensuring a sustainable society by ‘doing more with less’.

We have in place a Business Eco-efficiency Plan whereby we have achieved our goal to reduce our impact on the environment by decreasing materials going to landfill by 30% and reducing energy consumption by 10%.
