S. H. E. Q

Our approach to environmental responsibility is simple and straightforward. We aim to operate sustainable and workable practices throughout our day-to-day business with express consideration for the environment and to our customers, suppliers, employees and the communities within which we operate. The hire and support vehicle fleet is renewed on a regular basis, this program is designed to keep it as fuel efficient as possible, it enables us to offer maximum fuel efficiency and minimise our carbon emissions. Our transport fleet is monitored by a modern tracking system continually to ensure the most efficient routes are taken to minimise fuel consumption. Additionally we carry out the majority of repair/warranty work in our purpose built workshops or on site to reduce the emissions from transporting machinery unnecessarily to remote dealerships for repair. We seek to minimise adverse impacts through good management, aiming for continuous improvement in our Sustainability and delivering on our duty of care towards future generations.
