communities we serve, supported by a culture of integrity and honesty

Environmental policy is in place. The policy complies with all legal
requirements and incorporates industry best practice.
The Board recognises that the three key environmental areas for the Group are:
- the promotion and use of public transport
- the reduction of waste emissions
- efficient use of water and energy.
We are regularly looking at ways in which it can further
reduce the level of harmful emissions released into the environment.
Health & Safety Policy
We recognise the fundamental importance of safety within the business. It aims
to ensure the safety of all employees and customers through:
- effective policies and processes,
- providing premises and equipment that are safe
- taking all reasonable steps to avoid any risk to health,
and
- appropriate training, information and supervision.
In support of this, specific policies have been established to
cover key aspects of safety.
The Directors meet on a regular basis to the adequacy and effectiveness of the
overall safety policy of the company. They carry out regular assessments of the
workplace and monitor relevant legislative, and regulatory developments.
It is the responsibility of all employees to operate in a safe manner and to
seek to prevent accidents and risks to health.
This defines the minimum standards that must be applied throughout the business
irrespective of location. Safety policies and processes are updated from time to
time to reflect changes in legislation, best practice, and working circumstances
Environmental Policy
The policy aims to ensure the protection of the environment in which we operate,
the effective and efficient use of energy and raw materials, and the
minimisation of waste.
The aim of the policy is not simply legislative compliance, the Directors wish
to enhance our corporate responsibility by supporting the development of best
practice and innovative solutions to industry challenges in order to add value
and deliver sustainable growth.
In order to continuously improve, environmental policies are updated from time
to time, to reflect changes in legislation, best practice, and working
circumstances.

We believe that we should always comply with the relevant legislation aimed at
protecting people at work. Our aim is to create an environment in which all
people are valued and can be successful at work as a result of our genuinely
valuing differences in all people. We offer competitive pay and benefits
packages reflecting local market conditions. We align ourselves to legislative
requirements and best practice in the markets where we operate.
Our managers and supervisors are critical in ensuring our employees' welfare and
we invest in their training and development. A range of additional training and
development opportunities are in place to support all employees to maximise
their potential and progress within the business.
Listening to our employees provides us with great opportunities to continuously
improve the working environment, and we work hard to develop partnerships with
our social partners within the business.
