At DITT we believe that we have a responsibility to achieve good environmental practice and operate in a sustainable manner.  As a successful construction company, we are commited to reducing our environmental impact and continually inproving our environmental performance as an integral and fundamental part of our business strategy and operating methods.

It is our priority to encourage our customers, suppliers and all business associates to do the same, and we will operate in compliance with all relevant environmental legislation, codes of practice and other requirements to which we subscribe -  e.g. F.M.B., C.I.T.B.

We, at DITT Construction Ltd, will develop and implement an Environmental Management System (EMS) that will encompass the standards required by ISO 14001:2004.

This will ensure that DITT Construction Ltd will strive to:

  • Assess our organisational activities and identify areas where we can minimise the environmental impact, reduce waste through careful and efficient use of all materials and energy together will the re-use or recycling of products wherever possible.
  • Train our employees in good environmental practice and communicate our environmental commitment to clients, customers and the public in general.
  • Review our EMS regularly with a programme of continuous improvement and prevention of pollution in the light of our current and planned future activities, clearly focusing on those tha have a significant impact on the environment.

All of these actions will be included in our continual assessment of the Environmental Policy, which will be updated where necessary with clear and timed objectives and targets to represent the continuous improvement within the company.
