Environment
While environmental management is at an early stage at Lewis, we recognise that business activities do affect the environment and we are taking active steps to reduce the impact.
Focus areas include:
- Minimising electricity and water consumption
- Contracting waste disposal companies to recycle consumables such as stationery, paper and plastic
- Optimising fuel and oil consumption by ensuring that vehicles operate efficiently and that deliveries are efficiently executed
An environmental policy is being developed to enable us to manage the impact of our activities and to measure performance. The policy covers compliance with environmental legislation, measuring and reducing environmental impacts and reporting on impacts. The group also encourages suppliers to manage the environmental impact of their business activities.
