The EMS’s effectiveness is monitored and maintained by regular audit and management review.
This Environmental Policy is communicated to all employees and made available to the public on request.
The involvement of its workforce and external interested and affected parties in its Environmental Policy is encouraged by the organisation through effective communication procedures.

Our Environmental Action Plan

In order to manage our environmental impact HB Projects has established a Sustainability steering group along with an Environmental Action Plan. This group takes responsibility for:
• identifying areas of impact
• establishing and implementing plans to reduce this impact
• monitoring and reviewing plans

The Sustainability steering group is supported by peers in each region of the business. These champions take responsibility for:
• communicating environmental initiatives to employees within their region.
• ensuring the delivery of initiatives within their regions.
• liaising with staff members to assist with queries and suggestions.
We require all employees to conduct their duties in accordance with our Policy and in doing so; reflect the individual and corporate professionalism that is the keystone of our continuing success as a company.
This policy will be reviewed at least annually or when legislation demands, and improvements made where required.
