Environmental Policy
This Environmental policy was drafted to record the commitment of Connect Assist Limited, and its employees, to ensuring a positive environmental impact, or at least reducing any negative impact, in all areas of the company operation.
We believe that we have a responsibility to care for and protect the environment in which we operate. The Leadership team are committed to developing and implementing measurable policies and processes, while considering the environmental impact of the Company’s activities by:
- Adopting the highest environmental standards in all areas of operation wherever feasible, and not cost prohibitive, via our ISO 14001 compliant Business Management System
- Fostering stakeholder confidence by implementing policies and processes that comply with the requirements of ISO 14001, the International Environmental Management System standard
- Continually improving the ISO 14001 compliant Business Management System through the establishment and regular review of measurable environmental objectives at relevant functions and levels of the organisation
- Setting realistic environmental objectives and targets as part of the annual business planning and budgeting process, and ensuring progress against these are reviewed as part of regular Business Management System Action Group meetings
- Committing to comply with business and legal regulatory requirements and contractual environmental obligations
- Protecting the environment and preventing pollution by promoting efficient use of materials and resources throughout our facilities including water, electricity, gas, raw materials and other resources, particularly those that are non-renewable
- Ensuring compliance through the supply chain, or else influencing suppliers where alternatives are not possible, and aiming to include environmental and ethical considerations in investment decisions to ensure that all goods and services that we acquire reflect the same high environmental standards as our own
- Creating processes to identify, review and address the risks and opportunities to the Company’s ability to meet this policy
- Promoting environmental awareness amongst our employees, business partners and members of the wider community, and encouraging them to work in an environmentally responsible manner, including adoption of an environmentally sound transport strategy
