Environmental
policy
Leaderflush Shapland is the UK’s market leader in
performance doors and doorsets supplying around 2,400 every week
from four manufacturing sites employing some 700 people. So, we
are particularly aware of the environmental impact that our
operations may have – as well as the real benefits that
our products offer during use within buildings.
In order to monitor and develop our environmental performance,
we have developed an Environmental Management System in
accordance with BS EN ISO 14001: 2004,
based on a firm
Environmental Policy.
The Leaderflush Shapland Environmental Policy demonstrates
strong commitment to continuous improvement in areas such as:
- Prevention of pollution and contamination
- Reduction of waste
- Management of water and energy use
- Reduction in emissions to the atmosphere
- Responsible interaction with local communities
Central to this policy are communication and visibility:
Independent accreditation is also important and we
are registered by the British Standards Institution for the
operation of our Environmental Management System at each of our
manufacturing sites.
At Leaderflush Shapland, we always welcome dialogue on these
important issues to ensure that the requirements of specifiers
and their clients are fully met. Environmental Statements and
other information can be obtained by contacting us on:
environmentmatters@leaderflushshapland.co.uk
By specifying products from Leaderflush Shapland, you can be
sure of working with a company that demonstrates a clear
commitment to continually improving environmental performance.
In particular:
- We meet and, where practical, exceed all legislative,
regulatory and other requirements, which apply to our business
and our Environmental aspects.
- We work with our timber suppliers to meet the requirements
of FSC controlled wood standard.
- We promote an optimum and efficient use of resources and
energy.
- We are working to find better ways of reducing waste, while
improving the recycling and reuse of waste that we generate.
- We are committed to the prevention of pollution in all forms
and are reducing air pollution, particularly from our boiler
plants. We ensure that effluent discharges are minimised and
the possibilities of accidental water pollution are eliminated.
- We aim to continually improve the environmental performance
of the company by setting clear objectives, targets and
supporting programmes.
- We are raising awareness and understanding of the company's
environmental policy and its implications to all persons who
work for and on behalf of the company.
- We encourage an open and ongoing dialogue with those
individuals or organisations that have a bona fide interest in
the company’s activities and shall make available
information on our environmental performance on a
regular
basis.
