Environmental Policy
Environmental Policy Statement
The SureScreen Group (consisting of SureScreen Diagnostics, SureScreen Scientifics, SureScreen Materials and SureScreen Health) is committed to occupational Health and Safety as an integral part of our business principles and practices.
It is the policy of The SureScreen Group to manage its activities to give benefit to society, ensuring that they meet relevant laws and regulations, are acceptable to our customers and the community at large and that their environmental impact is reduced to a practicable minimum. In so doing, the company will ensure compliance with its responsibilities under UK environmental legislation.
There are four areas in which we will positively influence environmental awareness and compliance:
- In support of our core activities, we will ensure that our process for procuring consumable supplies maximise the use of biodegradable fluids and sustainable raw materials, those that can be re-cycled and those that have already been recycled.
- We will ensure that our process for disposing of all waste materials allow compliance with applicable legislation / duty of care obligations and maximise the possibility for the segregation of waste that can be re-cycled from that which cannot.
- We will maximise the efficiency of our use of consumed energy through the adoption of an efficient transport policy for our personnel and controlling the use of our electrical supplies and consumables at premises under our control.
- We will promote the highest standards of environmental excellence in customer organisations by matching our project environmental controls with the policies of our customers.
The SureScreen Group shall:
- Encourage and promote best practice and continual improvement in environmental performance.
- Commit to the prevention of environmental pollution and the protection of the environment in relation to our activities.
- Provide information and assistance to ensure that materials are used, stored, and disposed of in a safe and environmentally responsible manner.
- Provide adequate financial and physical resources for our environmental management.
- Setting and monitoring environmental objectives across the business, aimed at continuous improvement in environmental performance.
- Promote the open exchange of environmental information with customers and suppliers.
- Provide appropriate environmental training where necessary.
- Comply with the requirements of our customers’ environmental policies.
- Ensure efficient off-site disposal or re-use of waste materials.
Whilst overall responsibility for environmental matters rests with the Directors, all employees and people working on our behalf have a responsibility to implement and adhere to this policy.
Implementation of this policy will be monitored by those carrying out site inspections and audits, i.e., Directors, Managers, and the nominated Internal Auditors.
This policy statement is reviewed annually to ensure its continued relevance and adequacy and is available to interested parties on request. It is part of the company’s training program to ensure that this policy statement is briefed, understood, and implemented at all levels within the company.
