Polypipe Environmental Policy

It's one thing to comply with existing regulations, but to exceed them in preparation for future legislation is typical of Polypipe's innovation and forward thinking.

For example Polypipe Civils operate an Environmental Management System which complies with the requirements of ISO14001. We consider the positive management of the potential environmental impact of our activities as an integral part of our business undertaking. It is our intent to minimise the lasting impact of our operations on the environment and to take account of sustainability in our product design and applications.

The manufacture of these products consumes both raw materials and energy and Polypipe therefore has introduced proactive sustainability policies to manage both their usage and environmental impacts.

The Group shall ensure, as far as possible, that:

• We meet or exceed all current legislation and regulation relating to the environment
• We clearly define and communicate organisational responsibilities for the management of environmental protection
• Employee involvement in matters relating to the environment is actively encouraged
• Adequate information, instruction and training are provided to all employees
• We properly investigate environmental incidents
• We monitor and review performance using appropriate measures and methods
• We optimise the use of water and utilities
• There are good working relationships with regulatory authorities, neighbours, customers, suppliers and stakeholders on Environmental matters, energy management and Conservation Policy

Polypipe is proud to have achieved ISO 14001 accreditation at a number of our main sites which means that our environmental management system has been independently assessed by the British Accreditation Bureau and met all the necessary standards.
