Our Environmental Policy Statement

We are comitted to

Prevention of Pollution

We aim to use sound environmental practices and shall adhere to all applicable legal and other requirements.

Reduce Energy and Resource Consumption

We aim to design energy efficiency into our premises and products, and manage energy wisely in all our operations and be efficient in our use of natural resources.

Reduce Waste

We aim to reduce waste and actively promote recycling and the use of recycled materials, both in products we sell and in our internal operations.

Communication

We aim to ensure that environmental issues are always incorporated within Dyno Group training programmes, while encouraging our staff to adopt sound environmental practices. We encourage communication with customers, suppliers and environmental agencies and will advise customers of the environmental impact of our products and services.

Environmental Leadership

We aim to work with our suppliers to minimise the impact of their operations on the Environment. We are committed to sourcing environmentally friendly products.

Local Ecology

We aim to be aware of the environmental impact we have on our immediate neighbours, and where possible work with local communities and agencies to promote environmental protection.

Decision making

We aim to consider environmental impact during our product development processes and will incorporate environmental factors in our contingency plans.

Continual Improvement in Environmental Performance

We aim to monitor and measure our progress and publish an environmental performance report annually. We are committed to the implementation of the ISO 14001:2004 standard and will seek independent verification of our environmental performance.

Environmental Performance Update MAY 2009

Objective 1 Energy Consumption

1.1 Electricity consumption has decreased by 3% below target. The year to date (YTD) consumption measured at 201,674 kWh against a targeted figure of 208,333 kWh.

1.2 Gas consumption has increased to 24% above target due to the winter months. YTD consumption measured at 2,066 m3 against a targeted figure of 1,667 m3

Please remember to switch of any equipment/computers when not in use. Please also check that the temperature controls for the ceiling cassette units are not set too low or too high AND that these energy intensive units are switched off when not required.

Objective 2 Water Consumption

2.1 Water consumption has increased by 19.5% against budget. YTD consumption measured at 349 m3 against a target of 292 m3
Although the Sani-Sleeve products have contributed to the reduced requirement for water used for flushing but we still need to look at more ways to save water

Objective 3 Raising Staff Environmental Awareness

3.1 85% of staff are now trained in Environmental Awareness. We need everyone trained by the end of 2009.
Please ensure that you contact me or a member of the Environmental Action Team to arrange Environmental Awareness Training. This is a short excellent session delivered internally by Derek Hudson.

Objective 4 Production of General Waste

4.1 Paper/cardboard recycling volumes has increased by 7% YTD to 26.87 m3 against a target of 25 m3

4.2 General waste volumes have increased by 5.5% to 142.89 m3 against a target of 135.41 m3
These are good figures when taking into account the staffing levels based at Sutherland House.
Please contact Richard Kania X2291 if you have any other ideas for recycling streams. It is extremely important that we reduce the amount of general waste we sent to landfill (currently about 350 m3 per annum).
Keep up the good work!
