Environmental Policy Statement

JN Bentley Ltd recognises and respects the natural and built environments in which we operate and considers them at every stage of our work.

Our overall goal is to prevent environmental harm in all our activities.  We are committed to operating in an environmentally responsible manner and believe that responsible stewardship of both the natural and the built environment is essential for business efficiency and success.

We continually strive to improve our environmental performance and the Environmental Management System described within this Policy is designed to help us achieve this.

This policy describes the principle elements of the JN Bentley Ltd Environmental Management System and demonstrates our commitment to effective environmental management.  It describes the arrangements and procedures for environmental control and provides the basis for a systematic and uniform approach to the management of environmental issues.  It also recognises that materials and services purchased and activities carried out by the Company must comply with the requirements of current legislation, Company environmental targets and objectives and Contract Specifications.

The purpose of the Environmental Management System described in this Policy is to:

• Instruct individuals at all levels of JN Bentley Ltd in the working of the starem so they have knowledge and understanding of their own obligations towards meeting the environmental objectives of the organisation;
• To set a policy of commitment to effective environmental management;
• To inform clients (and potential clients) of the measures we take to ensure that Company activities, products and services have a minimal adverse effect on the environment;
• Co-ordinate the management of activities concerned with actual and potential environmental impacts; and
• Demonstrate that JN Bentley Ltd has complete awareness of environmental issues and recognises the views of all parties.

The Environmental Management System is based on ISO 14001:2004 and the clauses within Section 4 of this Policy correspond directly with the equivalent clauses of Section 4 (Environmental Management System Requirements) of that document.
