Environmental Policy

Our aim at Rapid Maintenance is to contribute towards a sustainable economic development in the region and ensure that environmental objectives are integrated into our relevant business objectives. We are committed to the continual improvement of our environmental performance and we will conduct our own activities and operations to reflect best environmental practice.

Specifically, we will endeavour to carry out, and adhere to the following :

• Review our activities, operations and procedures to identify environmental aspects and prioritise actions to address them.
• Implement an environmental management system appropriate to the location, scale and nature of our activities to demonstrate our commitment to the Greening Government Initiative and ‘A Better Quality of Life’, the Government's Sustainable Development strategy.
• Establish an environmental management Steering Group to drive forward commitments made in our environmental policy and provide regular (minimum of biannual) progress reports to the Board.
• Take measures to increase staff awareness of environmental issues and individual environmental responsibilities and ensure that environmental management is included within our staff induction and training programmes.
• Develop and implement a Green Travel Plan for business and commuter travel for all of our office staff and our mobile engineers and actively encourage staff to think about and where possible change their travel behaviour.
• Establish recycling schemes for all appropriate waste streams in our office, including ink jet cartridges and toners, paper and metal waste.

In the longer term we will:

• Reduce energy and resource consumption within the company by promoting effective and efficient reduction methods consistent with best practice.
• Set and achieve measurable targets for key performance criteria such as energy, transport, emissions, waste, water and environmental incidents. This includes setting appropriate environmental indicators and targets to measure our impact on the environment of the region e.g. CO2.
• Meet and, where possible, adopt best practice regarding all relevant UK, European and International environmental legislative and regulatory requirements and identify staff responsible for developing a committee to discuss environmental legislation issue’s of relevance to the Company and monitoring environmental legislative compliance.
• Where appropriate, use the most resource-efficient technologies and media for communicating and maintaining records of documentation.
• Purchase, wherever possible, environmentally-preferable goods and services and influence our suppliers and contractors to ensure that goods and services procured support our environmental procurement policy.
• Ensure that all projects and work programmes we fundertake are appraised for their environmental and sustainable development impact; e.g. through procuring sustainable building materials.
• Develop a communications policy to share information and best practice with others to help contribute to a better understanding of environmental and sustainable development issues.
• Publish information in a limited paper form, and make maximum use of our Web-Site, intra-net and job Control systems.
• Ensure good management practice by repeating an Environmental Audit of the Company every two years, by a third party and review and revise this policy statement accordingly.
