Environment Conservation

At D. Hughes Demolition & Excavation Ltd, we’re committed to protecting the environment and operating responsibly. To meet our environmental goals, we’ve set out the following key objectives:

• Identify and assess environmental impacts: We carefully assess the environmental effects of all our activities – whether under normal operations, unusual circumstances, or emergencies – to understand and manage our impact.
• Set clear targets and implement actions: Develop measurable objectives, targets, and management programmes, supported by effective operational procedures to minimise environmental impact.
• Ensure full legal compliance: We strictly adhere to all relevant environmental laws, regulations, and applicable standards.
• Pollution Prevention and Resource Efficiency: We are committed to preventing pollution and reducing our consumption of energy, water, and raw materials. Wherever possible, we prioritise reuse, recovery, and recycling, while ensuring that any necessary disposal is carried out safely and responsibly.
• Support sustainable development: Sustainability is built into everything we do – from how we manage our sites to how we source our materials, always favouring local and sustainable options where we can.
• Define and communicate responsibilities: Everyone in our organisation understands their environmental responsibilities. We make this clear through regular training and ongoing awareness programmes.
• Work with suppliers and contractors:
  We encourage our suppliers and subcontractors to align with our environmental standards and support them in adopting more sustainable practices.
• Engage with stakeholders:
  We’re open and honest about our environmental performance, and we welcome feedback from clients, communities, and the wider public – always looking for ways to improve.
• Commit to continuous improvement:
  We regularly monitor and review our environmental performance to keep improving our systems, processes, and results.
