Environmental Statement
The Reed Group is committed to performing to a high environmental standard and promoting sustainable construction practices on its sites.To ensure this standard is met, Reed operate on an ISO 14001 Environmental Management System (EMS) across all projects it builds. The EMS ensures our construction methods and those of our subcontractors identify and comply with all relevant Australian statutory authority and legislative obligations, special client requirements, the communities’ needs and all reasonable expectations of a construction company operating in a variety of challenging conditions.
Reed’s Environmental Management System:
- Identifies and assesses all relevant potential environmental aspects and impacts
- Establishes the compliance objective, goals and targets for each impact
- Operates hierarchy-based control strategies to meet the compliance objective
- Is regularly and systematically checked for effectiveness
- Performance is regularly reviewed to continuously improve it
All staff, employees, subcontractors and suppliers are encouraged by Reed to participate in the implementation operation and improvement of our Environmental Management System by:
- Contributing their ideas and experiences in developing innovative and improved work method and control approaches
- Reporting potential problems and identifying further opportunities for improvements
- Threatened and endangered species of flora and fauna on and around its sites
- Cultural and heritage structures and terms it may find
- Good working relations and the trust of the communities within which it operates
