Environmental Policy Statement
The Fourfront Group is committed to reducing to a minimum the ecological impact of all our activities. Management within the Group will continue to exercise excellence in environmental quality and performance and aim to establish even higher standards of environmental performance where it is practical and appropriate. This environmental policy is an integral part of our business strategy and is linked with our well established Health & Safety policy. It is the responsibility of all the Fourfront Group employees to observe the policy and action programmes to protect the environment.
To carry out this commitment, it is the Group policy to:

• Seek to improve environmental performance and raise standards in all sectors and develop integrated approaches at the workplace to eliminate health and safety hazards.
• Develop operating policies, programmes and recourses to implement our environmental quality policy.
• Continually assess our environmental policies and monitor progress towards our environmental goals.
• Provide our customers, suppliers, sub-contractors and employees with relevant and appropriate factual information about the environmental quality of our operations.
• Ensure that every Group employee is responsible and accountable for incorporating environmental quality considerations in daily business activities.
• Meet and exceed all applicable government and customer regulations in any location and establish standards where regulations may not exist.

Health & Safety
We are committed to maintaining the highest standards in Health and Safety, for our Employees and Sub-Contractors, from the start of the building process on site until clients move in, in accordance with the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, the Management of Health & Safety at Work Regulations 1999, the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 and the Environmental Protection Act 1990.
The Group’s Safety Management Policy details the responsibility of safety matters at all levels of management and is available to all Employees and Sub-contractors working for the Group. Our H&S is reviewed at regular intervals to ensure that all changes in legislation are incorporated and that our procedures and their implementation remain effective.
Site Managers are responsible of ensuring safe working practices throughout the building phase and make sure that the Health, Safety and Environmental Plan is followed.
The Group employs a Group Health, Safety and Environmental Manager and Health and Safety Officers who provide specialist advice as well as making regular site inspections and reporting their findings to both site management and the Board of Directors. We are therefore able to ensure that our methods of working and high safety standards are maintained in line with our stated policy.
