Environmental Policy

The Environmental Policy

The Environmental Policy of Foley & Miles Limited is to ensure so far as it is reasonably practicable that its operations will be carried out with a commitment to protecting and enhancing the environment. The same commitment will be expected to be shown by Company contractors.

This is a fundamental principle of Foley & Miles Limited’s business.

The Policy and all other Company environmental documentation and advice is based on Foley & Miles Limited’s view that environmental concern has equal stature to any other business objective. Foley & Miles Limited aims to establish a high priority of its principles in the corporate strategy.

Concern and an awareness for the environment is the responsibility of the Directors of Foley & Miles Limited

Foley & Miles Limited employees have a legal and moral obligation to carry out their duties with concern for the environment. It is a condition of employment that all staff complies with the Policy.
