Environmental Policy Statement
Roadstone Wood has an Environmental Policy statement which has been communicated to all employees and contractors. The Company recognises that the successful implementation of this policy depends on the ongoing commitment of all those working in the organisation.
An environmental management system has been developed for the Company and all employees are familiar with their own location environmental management system.
Environmental management is critical to the future development of Roadstone Wood and this is a Management priority. Company accreditation to the updated standard of ISO 14001 will continue in 2007 and is in the process of completition.
We aim for continuous improvement as regards the following
- minimise the environmental impact of our activities
- conserve mineral and energy resources
- reduce the visual impact of our operations
- minimise waste generation
We seek to exist as a good neighbour in the areas we operate and adopt an open communication policy on our environmental performance. Roadstone Wood as a market leader will set the environmental standard for best industry practice.
Pits & Quarries can and are often restored upon depletion and continue life as a wildlife habitat for nature.
Truck and wheel wash facilities are installed to help keep the local community roads clean within the areas we operate.
Suitable lands can be restored to be returned to Agricultural and Horticultural use.
On-going monitoring of dust, noise and blast control are all important elements of a well managed environmental policy.
Planting of shrubbery and trees protects the boundary and helps screen the location from external view while also assisting with dust suppression and control.
Internal fencing and tree planting enhances visual appearance and improves safety.
