GPM realises the need to protect our environment.

"Today's waste is tomorrow's back yard!" We must conserve and protect the resources we have, in order to sustain quality of life for our children and grandchildren.

Green issues form a key part of GPM management and we are commited to enviromnental awareness by continually updating our environmental policy.

All our offices have paper and aluminium can recycling bins, but we aim to cut our paper use by re-using the reverse side of all non-confidential documents. Unused printouts become scrap paper for later use. Unnecessary printing is discouraged, and we aim to make it as comfortable as possible for our staff to review their computer work "on-screen" where appropriate.

recycling bin

Our products are designed to be recycled.

The mining and manufacture of steel uses large amounts of energy and depletes physical resources. We realise that our products will eventually be replaced or dismantled, so we try to design them with maximum potential for re-use or recycling. Metal recycling skips are provided on our sites, and measures are taken to make this the most convenient form of disposal.

waste bin

While special waste is kept to a minimum, we make sure that all harmful materials are stored carefully until they can be taken away by the appropriately approved waste management contractors.

We aim to promote environmental excellence through the successful implementation of ISO 14001 Environmental Management System.
