Summerfield are committed to being a proactive and practical partner in the protection of the local, regional and global environment.

Environmental regulations, laws and codes of practice will be regarded as setting the minimum standards of environmental performance.

The company maintains that a primary part of its corporate environmental strategy is sustainable waste management and as such recognises its responsibilities to recycle materials wherever possible.

We are nurturing a positive culture throughout the organisation and working with other parties to achieve this aim and encourage the supply chain to pursue environmentally responsible practice.

Our environmental responsibility is based upon continuous improvement, education and training. Environmental management continues to be a priority fully integrated into our business.

We will encourage our Clients to consider fully the environmental implications of their businesses and homes and the impact on them of environmental issues together with the sustainability of their premises.

Summerfield will incorporate sustainable energy and building methods together with energy and water saving measures and technology as they become practically viable and with consideration to the "Green Guide to Specification".

Our aim is to promote the exchange of information with our clients and contractors in order to share best environmental practices and promote the principles of the Considerate Constructors Scheme.

We ensure that our projects are carried out with positive consideration to the needs of local residents, businesses, the general public, visitors to site and those who work on it. Special consideration is given to the needs of those with sight, hearing and mobility difficulties.

Summerfield ensures that nuisances are kept to a minimum with noise levels, dust and water run-off carefully controlled and our sites maintained to the highest standards to provide a positive advertisement not only for ourselves but also for the project and the construction industry as a whole.
