Environment
WHS Halo takes it commitments to the environment very seriously. We were one of the first PVCu window profile extruders in the UK to be awarded with the International Standard for Environmental Management (ISO 14001), back in 2000. By implementing an Environmental Management System (EMS) we were able to provide a framework for managing environmental responsibilities so they become more integrated into overall business operations. The system also ensures that we can implement measures to minimise our impact upon the environment and ensure compliance to Environmental Legislation.
In line with our environmental policy, Bowater Building Products is committed towards:
- Exercising due care in waste disposal produced as a result of company activities, developing plans to reduce waste, and increase efficiency.
- In relationships with our customers and suppliers, we are taking practical steps to prevent pollution, to reduce energy, raw materials, water consumption and waste.
- Encouraging the re-use of material wherever feasible, when it does not compromise our product or service.
- Aiming to reduce our impact on the environment and implement environmentally responsible policies/products throughout our operations.
- Minimising our environmental footprint, by working towards sustainability
