Sustainability Statement

Thompson Contracts (Blackpool) Limited

At Thompson Contracts (Blackpool) Limited, we are deeply committed to operating as a responsible and sustainable business. Over the past six months, we have implemented various initiatives to enhance our environmental performance and minimise our ecological footprint. Our sustainability targets reflect our dedication to fostering a greener future for our company and the communities we serve.

1. Digitalisation of Systems: We have recently acquired the Procore platform, a significant step towards improving operational efficiencies. As part of our ongoing commitment, we are exploring additional digitalisation platforms for accounting, aiming to reduce paper consumption and enhance overall efficiency.

2. Energy Efficiency through LED Lighting: In our workshop, we have installed energy-efficient LED lighting, complemented by Passive Infrared Sensors (PIR) in designated areas. This not only reduces our energy consumption but also aligns with our commitment to sustainable practices.

3. Machinery and Tools Upgrade: We have invested in upgrading major machinery and small tools in our workshop to boost production efficiencies. By utilising advanced equipment, we aim to minimise resource consumption and enhance the overall sustainability of our operations.

4. Solar Panel Installation: To improve energy efficiencies at our head office, we have installed solar panels. This step reinforces our commitment to utilising renewable energy sources and contributes to reducing our carbon footprint.

5. Site Waste Management: We have enhanced our site waste management by improving skip segregation processes. This is part of our broader focus on minimising waste generation and promoting responsible waste disposal practices.

Tree Planting Initiative: We are actively exploring a tree planting initiative as part of our environmental commitment. This initiative aligns with our dedication to offsetting carbon emissions and contributing to reforestation efforts.

Environmental Policy: Our environmental policy is integral to our operations, focusing on integrating environmental management into our daily activities. We are dedicated to continual improvement in environmental performance, as outlined in the following key principles:

• Compliance: We monitor and comply with all relevant environmental laws, standards, and practices.
• Pollution Prevention: We manage our activities to prevent or minimise pollution and environmental impacts.
