Why we have an ‘Environmental Policy’?

 

We have been committed over several years to recycling and reducing waste at the centre.

Bringing the best practice guidelines together in one policy enables us to make informed decisions.

 

 

The Trustees of Hillstown Miner’s Welfare Trust are committed to protecting and promoting the improvement of the local environment.

This means making business decisions that create both environmental and economic value for our centre.

 

 

1.   Looking at what we use.

We look at our carbon footprint and regularly review any changes required, to enable sustainability.

 

2.  Use recyclable materials.

We are determined to purchase only recyclable materials where possible

​

3  Recycling bins in the centre.

We have installed recycling bins for users to dispose of and cut down on waste generated.

​

4.  Reduce paper use.

Whenever we can, will look at alternative means of reducing printing and paper use.

​

5.  Get everyone on board.

Starting with ourselves, and being aware of the waste we generate.  Lowering our own carbon footprint will encourage others to make that commitment.
