environmental policy

In striving to facilitate, educate and promote sustainable solutions, Wiltshire Swain has developed an environmental design philosophy, which embodies the following principles:

  • Preserve and respect the site and local environment,

  • Incorporate passive climatic outcomes,

  • Pursue energy efficiencies,

  • Optimize resource usage,

  • Minimize pollution of soil, air and water,

  • Improve the health, safety and comfort of building users.

This policy has been founded on a commitment to satisfy applicable requirements and to continually improve the System and our operations. To achieve our business objectives, we have implemented an Integrated Management System which meets the ISO 14001:2015 International Standard. Environmental objectives have been established and are regularly reviewed for continued suitability. Monitoring of these objectives is also undertaken to ensure key performance indicators are being met.

Wiltshire Swain is committed to:

  • Implementing environmental processes which are regularly reviewed to ensure they remain relevant to our operations and compliant with changes in legal and other requirements.

  • Conducting regular environmental audits of our operations to ensure waste and pollution are prevented and minimised.

  • Maintaining a framework for reviewing environmental objectives and targets through analysing the environmental risks at each new site.

  • Ensuring adequate environmental assessment of new projects and asset purchases.

  • Developing and implementing emergency plans in order to minimise any adverse environmental impact.

  • Ensuring workers are aware of their responsibility to control, minimise the impacts of, and report any event or condition with the potential to harm the environment or breach a condition of environmental legislation.

  • Advising contractors and suppliers of goods and services of this Policy and their environmental responsibilities in relation to its operations.

The management team are fully committed to the above and shall ensure that this policy is effectively communicated, understood and applied across our practice. This policy shall be made available to all employees and interested parties, as requested.

This Environmental Policy is evaluated as part of the overall review of the Integrated Management System to ensure its stated objectives are met.
