Environmental Policy...

The company recognises that in our day-to-day operations we inevitably impact on the environment in a number of ways and we are committed to minimising the potentially harmful effects of such activity wherever and whenever possible.

We have undertaken to help company staff understand and implement the relevant aspects of this policy in their day-t-day work through regular communication of objectives and action plans.

We will also ensure that the company's suppliers and subcontractors are aware of this policy and premote the principles of sound environmental practive.

The Borad of Directors has ultimate responsibility for the company's environmental policy and performance.

The company is committed to prevention of pollution and minimising the impact of its operations on the environment by means of a programme of continuous improvement. In particular Handy AV will:

• Meet and, where appropriate, exceed all relevant legislative and other requirements - where no regulations exist we shall aim to set our own environmental friendly standards.
• Seek to reduce consumption of materials in our operations, reuse rather than dispose whenever possible, and promote recycling and the use of recycled materials.
• Address energy efficiency into new/existing buildings and manage energy wisely in all operations.
