ENVIRONMENTALLY COMMITED LOGISTICS
Our Commitment to our environmental policy
AMCO are committed to our environmental policy & the environment we work in; and strive to operate our resources in an environmentally responsible manner, limiting the impact of our operations to our staff, customers, neighbours and the general public. We understand the environmental danger that consumption of materials, fuel, energy, and water so – AMCO aim to minimise our consumption of materials, fuel, energy and water.
AS A LOGISTICS PROVIDER AND VEHICLE OPERATOR WE WILL:
Maintain a culture of safe and fuel-efficient driving, we will minimise fuel use and therefore environmental pollution; and show consideration to others and maximise safety. We do this through training, monitoring, retraining and the use of a live central vehicle tracking and performance system, therefore committing to our environmental policy.
Ensure that drivers understand how they can get the best performance from their vehicle, any ancillary equipment and avoid unnecessary use of fuel.
Load our vehicles to the maximum where possible to optimise efficiency.
Ensure that all vehicles are kept maintained to a high standard and that noise from our operations is kept to a minimum in all areas.
Engage with our employees, welcoming their ideas for continuous improvement of the business.
AS A MULTI-SITE OPERATIONS PROPERTY OWNER WE WILL:
Minimise the use of lighting, heating, paper and other materials consistent with the comfort of employees and requirements of the business.
Ensure that the general appearance of the property is visually acceptable, by keeping the building clean and well-maintained, landscaping or tree-screening and maintaining a professional service.
Reduce energy consumption where we can and regularly measure and review our costs and performance.
