CRL Sustainability Policy

CRL commits to uphold the principles of Sustainable Develop as defined by Brundtland; “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs”

• Wherever possible we commit to comply with all relevant current legislation, regulations and codes of practice.

• To provide our employees with training in sustainability issues and promote the use of sustainable transport for business use.

• To advise our clients and supply chain of our policy and to encourage them to adopt sustainable policies.

• To minimise the impact of our activities and to choose sustainable options wherever practicable.

• To promote the use of local employees, suppliers and sub-contractors when available.

• We recognise that Sustainability issues are crucial to the long term development of our business and consideration will be given to sustainable issues when developing new policies and procedures.

Sustainable Employment

CRL will build on our record of employing Staff and Operatives living close to our Regional Offices and Sites. For long term Projects we will consider setting up and developing the skill base of the local workforce using the resources of our in-house training facility – CRL School of Excellence.

Our award for Pilgrim Hospital as Considerate Contractor of the Year recognised the investment we make in training of the local workforce. And on some of our current sites local employees account for 75% of our workforce on site.

Sustainability in our Supply Chain

Where appropriate we will favour local suppliers, providing they offer competitively priced solutions without compromising the quality of their product and maintain good levels of Health, Safety and Environmental management.

We will actively encourage all of our supply chain to adopt Sustainable methods of production and provide assistance to help them achieve their sustainability objectives.
