Environmental Policy

Socal is a family run business and we recognise that every business has an effect on the local, regional and global environment, to minimise this impact we: supply Calor LPG in reusable packaging, minimise delivery vehicle miles through load scheduling and routing, recycle and re-use paper and cardboard that would normally be discarded, use low energy electrical appliances where ever possible.

We also where ever possible source:

• Business services locally
• Products either locally, nationally or within Europe
• Products from sustainable sources

While we realise this is only a start, we are committed to continuous improvements in environmental performance and the reduction of pollution and waste. Staff involvement in environmental matters is encouraged at all levels and is promoted through staff training, meetings, communications and a constant review of working methods and techniques. 

Our goals are to: to continue to promote recycling and the use of recycled or bio-degradable materials, while reducing consumption of materials wherever possible, minimise waste in all operations, continue to source products that are manufactured locally, nationally or within Europe, source products that are both innovative and environmentally sustainable, include environmental issues in staff training and encourage the implementation by all staff of sound environmental practices, regard Environmental Regulations, Laws and Codes of Practice as setting the minimum standards of environmental performance
