Group Environmental Policy
Statement
The activities of the MJ Gleeson Group are determined
by a desire to build environmentally efficient homes. We take a proactive
approach to the introduction of innovative technologies to benefit both
residents and the environment.
Our aim, in accordance with our Environmental
Management System, is to minimise the impact of our activities on the
environment. We do this by focusing on all stages of development from
site identification and purchase, through design, construction and sales and
marketing.
Consistent with the environmental policy objectives of
the MJ Gleeson Group, we undertake to:
- Set annual environmental objectives and targets and
monitor these to achieve continual improvement.
- Monitor and review our environmental procedures to
ensure environmental standards are being maintained whilst also highlighting
potential areas for improvement.
- Encourage sub-contractors, designers and suppliers to
adopt environmental policies and management systems to accord with our own.
- Improve the quality of land use within towns and
cities by redeveloping derelict and brownfield sites and reducing environmental
impacts upon local communities. This is assisted by keeping our sites
clean and tidy; conserving natural resources, cultural and built heritage; and
adopting robust controls for preventing air, ground, water and noise pollution.
- Communicate openly with our customers, local
communities, stakeholders and partners that have an interest in our
environmental policies, plans and performance.
- Use materials and products from sustainable sources
wherever viable and make use of opportunities for waste minimisation, reuse and
recycling of materials.
- Train employees and promote environmental awareness and commitment.
- Keep abreast of and comply with all legislation, regulations and codes of practice on environmental matters relevant to our operations.
