Environmental Policy
The Company recognises and accepts its moral and legal responsibilities on all
environmental issues.
It is therefore our policy to conduct our undertakings, so far as is reasonably
practicable, in a manner conductive to the environment.
We endeavour to target as follows:
- Waste minimisation
- Efficient use of energy
- Emissions to atmosphere and water
- Noise emissions
The Company is committed to developing meaningful environmental performance and
evaluation procedures. Progress against specific objectives and targets will be
reported on a regular basis and at least annually. Awareness and responsibility
training will be made available to all employees in environmental matters. Our
aspiration is to obtain ISO 14001 certification for all group activities.
Increasingly consumers are seeking evidence of environmentally sound business
practises, including reassurance and proof from forest/timber bases industries
that the wood used comes from sustainable managed sources.
A reliable and credible mechanism to provide this information, Chain of Custody,
is provided by both the forest stewardship council (FSC) and the programme for
the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) labelling schemes.
As part of Thomas Armstrong (Timber) Limited’s commitment to ensuring we have
solid environmental policy we hold FSE Chain of Custody certification for the
Production, Processing, sales and distribution of Melamine, Foil and PVC faced
Chipboard products together with the Processing, sales and distribution of FSC
Certified Ancillary Roof Timbers. We also hold Chain of Custody Certification
for the Manufacture, Processing, sales and Distribution of PEFC certified Trussed
Rafters and Ancillary Roof Timbers.
Thomas Armstrong (timber) Limited is committed to source wood panel products
and timber from legitimate and legal suppliers. It is the Company policy, first
and foremost, to source products from suppliers who themselves are members of
recognised environmental schemes.
For future requirements, the Company will continue to source product responsibly
and promote the environmental benefits of wood as a natural renewable resource.
