To confirm the above commitment, company management has developed a comprehensive policy statement, appropriate to our operations. This policy enables us to set objectives towards sustainable environmental improvement which can be measured and monitored regularly and in turn, contribute to the prevention of pollution and future protection of the environment. All employees are encouraged to understand and implement the objectives of this policy in their day-to-day work through regular discussion, communication, and training.

  • Continuous improvement of the Environmental Management System to enhance environmental performance
  • Protection of the environment by managing the aspects and impacts within the business
  • Prevention of pollution
  • Commitment to fulfill its compliance obligations • Provide a framework for setting environmental objectives
  • A policy that is documented, implemented, maintained and communicated to all employees and interested parties 

Versatile Utilities Limited will: 

  • Ensure appropriate resources will continually be made available to ensure the environmental policy is implemented in full
  • Discuss environmental issues with all employees, conduct training programmes and encourage best implementation practice by all personnel
  • Meet and where appropriate, exceed the requirements of all relevant legislation
  • Work with our suppliers and sub-contractors to minimise the impact of their operations on the environment. 

In addition, Versatile Utilities Limited will seek to reduce the following:
