Environmental Responsibility
We have a responsibility to tackle the climate emergency and we continue to commit resources and align our policies to address this issue. We work closely with our clients to ensure sustainability outcomes are achieved. Due to the industry in which we operate, we recognise that our business activities can impact the wider environment, and therefore, have an obligation to reduce the direct negative impact of these activities.
To manage the environmental risk, we have adopted policies that comply with the ISO BS EN 14001 – Environmental Management System. The policies manage the environmental impact by reducing pollution, improving energy efficiency, and where possible, reusing and recycling waste, to achieve its long-term environmental goals. Billington Holding’s Board of Directors continuously monitors and enhances these efforts, aiming to save costs and reduce our environmental impact.
Social Responsibility
We are committed to addressing climate change through resource allocation and policy alignment. Our quality and environmental consultant actively contributes to the BCSA Sustainability Committee, focusing on reducing carbon emissions and tackling the climate emergency. To ensure the successful implementation of our environmental policies, we educate and inform our employees of the environmental impact of their work activities and encourages staff to seek methods to reduce these impacts. It also provides employees with the necessary resources to deliver the environmental objectives.
Additionally, we work in partnership with subcontractors to identify and develop procedures to reduce the environmental impact of onsite project work to a practicable minimum and ensure optimum efficiency of onsite operations.
We also place great importance on taking an active role in improving the communities close to our manufacturing facilities and construction sites. Joining the 5% Club reflects our commitment to education by increasing our involvement with schools and supporting charities chosen by our employees. Alignment with the goals of our customers and stakeholders ensures that our initiatives focus on employment, training, education, diversity, inclusion, health, wellbeing and the environment.
The integration of ESG objectives into all our processes is key to driving long term sustainable value for the company’s stakeholders. Aligning our business practices with environmental, social and governance principles, ensures we build a resilient and responsible company that positively impacts society while delivering innovative solutions for a better future.
