The understanding of the need for environmental protection forms an integral part of the AEROCOMPONENTS business philosophy. We are committed to protecting the environment and believe that the Company has a responsibility not to compromise the ability of future generations to sustain their needs.
The impact that any of our activities, those of our clients/contractors, may have on the environment is an area of concern.
We will seek to reduce our consumption of non-renewable resources, and whenever practicable will select materials which have the least negative impact on the environment throughout their life cycle.
Environmental protection will have equal status to considerations for health, safety and quality.
In confirming our commitment to protection of the environment we will treat environmental regulations that apply to our activities as minimum standards, and where appropriate aim to better them. We will provide information where we can to sub-contractors, customers and end users of our services to ensure that misuse will not be the cause of damage to the environment.
Responsibility for the environmental policy and supporting statement lies with the whole of our management team, including its Directors.
