Sustainability Policy

Glenvale Waste is committed to promoting sustainability.

Concern for the environment and promoting a broader sustainability agenda are integral to Glenvale Waste’s professional activities and the management of the organisation. We aim to follow and to promote good sustainability practice, to reduce the environmental impacts of all our activities.

Glenvale Waste aims to move towards a more sustainable way of operating by taking a positive solutions orientated approach. We accept that natural resources are the basis of life itself and together with the environment created by humans; they are the sources of our social and economic opportunities, health and prosperity.

We accept the need to work pro-actively to the challenges of climate change, to reduce our use of resources, prevent pollution, minimise damage to natural habitats and wildlife and to protect the human environment from which we derive thereby creating a sense of well-being.

Glenvale Waste will comply with all environmental legislation and regulations, to set indicators and targets through our environmental policy in conjunction with this policy and to communicate to all staff and to review and seek continual improvement.

This policy recognises that for good governance and good corporate management that:

• Social, economic and environmental issues must be integrated and delivered in a joined up way
• Activities must be planned for the long term
• Negative impacts on adjacent areas, local and global, must be minimised
• Pro-active measurements are essential to ensure environmental objectives are met.

We offer a wide range of drain and sewer services and you can check out our customer testimonials.
