Environment

Groundwork Lincolnshire is committed to reducing our impact on the environment. It’s hugely important to us that we practice what we preach in the way we run our organisations.

That’s why we’re committed to achieving the environmental quality standard BS8555.

We recognise that our operations, activities, products and services do have an impact on the environment so we are dedicated to preventing pollution and continually improving our environmental performance.

We comply with all relevant environmental legislation and consider our impact with every business decision; setting targets each year ensure we improve. Where possible, we recycle resources and use sustainable and renewable products and continue to change and adapt our approach as new knowledge comes to light.

We’re working hard to look at our processes and ways of working to reduce our carbon impact further. In particular, we are developing better ways of measuring and reducing the carbon impact of our landscaping projects.
