Lumsden & Carroll Construction places very high importance on the protection of our natural resources and the environment of which we have only temporary custody. We manage all of our activities to cause the minimum detriment to our natural environment and, wherever possible, we make full use of recycled materials.
Within the Esh Group, we have formed a joint venture with Aggregate Industries, Bardon Esh, that recycles construction waste at its bespoke plant on Teesside. The Group has also established facilities at Bowburn and Tursdale to separate and segregate waste materials for recycling.
At Lumsden & Carroll we have developed our Environmental Management System, which was accredited to ISO 14001 in late 2006.
Through the operation of our Environmental Management System, we will aim to ensure that our operations meet the environmental objectives and needs of customers, employees and the communities wher we work.
The Environmental Manuals clearly define procedures and functions, responsibilities and standards. Staff are fully trained at relevant levels and checks and controls are in place to ensure full compliance with both the management system criteria and the spirit of the policy itself.
We are committed to managing our activities so as to minimise pollution, reduce waste production and to dispose of waste generated in a proper, controlled manner. Our Environmental Management System is ‘live’, maintained by dedicated staff who keep up to date with regulations and associated codes of practice.
Wherever practicable and consistent with client’s instructions, we use materials and products from sustainable sources. We make every effort to conserve materials, energy and natural resources, we collect waste materials for re-cycling and we re-use and recycle wherever possible. Throughout the course of our work we try to educate clients and suppliers and encourage implementation of our systems wherever possible.
