The company will operate within its environmental policy, which has been compiled as an integral part of its total management programme, with set targets in continual improvement in the areas specified and meeting the standards set in ISO 14001.
Working within our environmental policy we shall:

- Always consider the environmental aspects of any changes in our manufacturing operation or future developments that are within our control.
Objectives
- Reduce, reuse, recycle or recover waste wherever possible.
- Minimise waste in energy, water and raw materials, promoting the reuse or recycling of these key points, using the best available techniques.
- Reduce raw materials waste (green brick waste).
- Reduce energy consumption in line with our Climate Change -Agreement and thereby reduce emissions to air.
