The Environment
Hubdean Specialist Coatings recognises the need for sustainable development and continually aims to improve the environmental effects of its activities.
To achieve this we will:-
The Hubdean Environmental Policy is the cornerstone of environmental management
To support our policy, we have a comprehensive Environmental Awareness Plan which spells out to our employees and our customers, our responsibilities, duties, considerations and commitment to the environment in our organisation, both in general terms and in respect of the organisation of specific responsibilities and the practical arrangements required.
Our Environmental Awareness Plan covers
Environmental Management
Promoting and ensuring continuous improvement of our environmental performance, prevention of pollution and helping us to control and meet our legal obligations.
Sustainable Development
Our business already incorporates good practice and contributes to sustainable development. By further improving and integrating this into all our activities will help in our future success.
Future Environmental Consideration
We are currently funding a research and development programme in conjunction with Warrington Fire Research to develop a new paint system ahead of 2010 legislation regarding use of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) in paints and varnishes. This new system will not only maintain our position at the forefront of Class 0 specialist coatings, it will ensure we are also introducing environmentally friendly systems ahead of European Legislation.
