Environmental Policy

Lightfoot recognises that it has a responsibility to the environment beyond legal and regulatory requirements. We are committed to reducing our environmental impact and continually improving our environmental performance as an integral part of our business strategy and operating methods, with regular review. We will encourage customers, suppliers and other stakeholders to do the same.

Directors are responsible for ensuring that the environmental policy is implemented and continuously improved. Management and Board of Directors review on a regular basis, however, all employees have a responsibility in their area to ensure that the aims and objectives of the policy are met.

We endeavour to:

• Comply with and exceed all relevant regulatory requirements

• Reduce the amount of energy used as much as possible and take the consumption and efficiency of new products into consideration prior to purchasing
• Evaluate the environmental impact of any new products we intend to purchase
