Environmental Policy

Street Clean Ltd provides exterior cleaning and facilities management services across the North West. We recognise that our work has an impact on the environment and we are committed to reducing that impact, preventing pollution and continually improving our environmental performance.

Scope

This policy applies to all our activities, sites of work, employees and subcontractors.

Our commitments

We will:

comply with all environmental legislation, regulations and client requirements that apply to our work
prevent pollution by controlling run-off and waste water, and by protecting drains, watercourses, soil and planting on and around the sites we work on
use water and energy efficiently and choose the cleaning method that achieves the result with the least environmental impact
select cleaning products carefully, prefer biodegradable and less hazardous options where they are effective, and use, store and dispose of all products in line with COSHH requirements and manufacturers’ guidance
reduce waste, reuse and recycle where practical, and dispose of waste responsibly through authorised routes
maintain our vehicles and equipment so they run efficiently, and plan our journeys to reduce fuel use and emissions
keep noise, dust and disturbance to neighbours, the public and wildlife to a minimum
consider environmental performance when choosing suppliers and subcontractors

Responsibilities

The Directors have overall responsibility for this policy. Supervisors make sure it is followed on site, and every member of our team is expected to work in line with it and to report any environmental incident, spill or near miss straight away.

Training and awareness

We make sure our team understand the environmental risks of the work they carry out and how to control them, including the correct use of equipment, chemicals and spill controls.
