The following states our commitment to take all reasonable steps and measures to conduct our business activities in order to ensure our environmental impact is minimised as so far is as reasonably practicable.
This commitment includes the continual improvement of our environmental management system to enhance environmental performance. We will do this through:
- Committing to reduce pollution generated either directly or indirectly as a result of our activities.
- Reducing and, where practicable, eliminating our use of energy from unrenewable sources.
- Reducing and, where practicable, eliminating our use of fossils fuels and fuel from other unrenewable sources.
- Increase our use and reliance on sustainable, renewable energy and sources.
- Minimising water usage and water waste.
- Reducing the use of consumables, and where this is not practicable, reusing these, with recycling being undertaken only where the first two options have been exhausted.
- Ensuring that we prevent and/or minimise any of our activities causing an environmental nuisance to any relevant stakeholders.
- Following and leading industry best practice and complying with our customers’ environmental requirements.
- Providing information, instruction, and training to our colleagues which is appropriate to their roles and responsibilities within the organisation.
- Encouraging and actively promoting environmental innovation, best practice and initiatives through our staff, subcontractors, and systems.
- Providing suitable and sufficient resources to environmental requirements across all levels of the business.
- Consulting and communicating with our colleagues on environmental issues and listening (and acting where necessary) when feedback is given.
- Continual improvement of our environmental performance through ongoing monitoring, measurement, and review.
- Regularly reviewing this policy statement, on a minimum of an annual basis, to ensure that it is appropriate to the nature and scale of our environmental risks and impacts, and it remains relevant and appropriate to the purposes of the business.
A copy of this Environmental Policy Statement will be made available upon request to any interested party and communicated to our employees and other relevant stakeholders.
Overall responsibility for this policy rests with LKQ UK and Ireland Executive Team.
For and on behalf of LKQ Group (UK) Limited & LKQ (Distribution Ireland) Limited.
