As a Company we are committed to doing what we can to minimise our impact on the environment around us. We are continually looking at new ways to improve our environmental performance. Over recent years we have introduced a number of initiatives to support our Environmental Policy Statement and we are presently working on a host of further projects.
Not only do we take our responsibility for the environment seriously; we also recognise our social responsibilities within the communities that we operate. In 2004, to celebrate our centenary year, we were honoured to be able to support Disability Challengers in the development of a new centre in Farnham, Surrey where disabled children and teenagers are able to come for play and respite. Please see www.disability-challengers.org if you would like to find out more about Disability Challengers.
