Environmental Policy

Duraflex is a market leader in the system design, production and supply of PVCU profiles for the fabrication of windows and doors.

The Management of Duraflex recognises the importance of sound environmental management at all levels of the organisation and is committed to a dynamic continuous improvement programme, not only to minimise the company's adverse environmental impacts but also to provide services that are beneficial to the environment.

Our objective is to manage, through operation of an ISO14001 EMS, the causes of these impacts and reduce their effects to the minimum practicably possible, by responding to changes brought about by political, legislative, economic and technological stimuli.

It is our policy to:

• Comply with all legislative requirements as a minimum, but where practical and possible, exceed these requirements
• Manage any pollution liabilities by ensuring "significant harm" is not being caused to the environment
• Reduce all uncontrolled discharges to land and water under normal operating conditions to zero
• Introduce all necessary controls to ensure as far as practicably possible, no accidental release of PVC powder products to the environment will occur
• Increase business efficiency and to minimise waste production across the company
• Use energy efficiently
• Be committed to awareness and training programmes so that all employees understand the impact of their activities, or their omissions, on the environment
• To consider the environmental performance (including the existence of Environmental Management Systems) of our key suppliers prior to making purchasing decisions.
