Commitment to preservation and enhancement of the environment is an
integral part of McFadden Ltd’s ongoing management and development
programme.

We will actively seek to reduce any negative impact upon the environment, as far as is reasonably practicable, and to enhance it where possible. This objective will be realised through implementation of a proactive corporate policy on Health & Safety in the workplace, control of pollution and care for the environment. Any pollution from our activities will be assessed and either eliminated or controlled so far as is reasonably practicable. Site work will be planned and managed to protect existing trees, hedgerows and shrubs. At locations where vegetation must be removed to allow work to proceed, where possible, replacements will be planted on completion of the contract.

Plant and machinery will be regularly maintained to ensure that they operate efficiently and prevent fuel and hydraulic oil leaks or other discharges to air, land or water. To protect fish and other wildlife, care will be taken to control the discharge of dirty/contaminated water or other materials into watercourses.

Machinery will have noise reduction silencers fitted where necessary and care will be taken to reduce or prevent dust / noise pollution. We will endeavour to specify and incorporate energy efficient facilities in new plant and machinery.

All new and replacement plant and machinery will be of low emission type.
Procedures are in place to instruct and remind staff of measures to control
waster. Where possible, paper and other resources will be reused and waste recycled. We will monitor and control the use of electricity, fuel, heat and light so as to reduce waste.
