Our commitment
Preferred Management Solutions (PMS) Ltd (‘preferred‘) is committed to a policy of effectively managing environmental performance in order to minimise the impact of our business processes on the natural environment and the community at large. This commitment extends to all group business units, workplaces, employees and others affected by our operations. Our objective is to integrate the assessment, management and control of environmental issues into the management of our business.
We will:
- Assess the environmental impact of our operations during planning, design and implementation phases to prevent pollution of the external environment.
- Ensure compliance with all relevant environmental legislation as a minimum and, where practical, approved codes of practice and other requirements such as those specified by our clients.
- Develop and implement objectives and targets to ensure a continual improvement in our environmental performance.
- Incorporate sustainable environmental considerations into our design standards and construction practices having regard to energy and water consumption, use of low environmental impact materials, designing out waste and reusing materials, wherever possible.
- Play our part in minimising the amount of construction, demolition and excavation waste going to landfill. We will work to adopt and implement standards for good practice in reducing waste, recycling more and increasing the use of recycled and recovered materials.
- Adopt a risk-based approach to providing appropriate training in environmental issues for our employees according to their role, work they undertake and their environmental responsibilities. The Leadership Team has the overall responsibility for environmental management.
Our Leadership Team will discharge this responsibility with the assistance of, management, employees and contractors. All managers accept their responsibility for environmental management and will ensure that resources, facilities, finances, information, instruction, training and supervision are provided, as necessary, to maintain a positive environmental culture and performance.
Our Leadership Team is responsible for the implementation of this Policy statement and for ensuring environmental risks are assessed and appropriate management controls are implemented in accordance with preferred’s standards. Environmental responsibilities have been defined for all preferred personnel and are contained within the Company Environmental Policy document.
All employees and contractors are expected to co-operate with preferred in the implementation of the Environmental Policy document and will ensure that their own work, so far as is reasonably practicable, is carried out with minimum risk to the environment. Consultation with all relevant stakeholders will be structured to ensure environmental awareness and to encourage feedback to continually improve our environmental management processes.
This Policy statement will be prominently displayed at all workplaces and made available to the public and other interested parties upon request. The Environmental Policy document will also be available at all workplaces for reference by any employee or contractor, as required. The Environmental Policy document is continually being monitored and developed and will be formally.
