Our recycling rates show that
↑93%
of Hannaford waste is currently avoiding landfill!
Our projects create our biggest environmental impacts through waste being created; therefore careful waste management is imperative to our business. Only licensed waste contractors offering the highest recycling rates are considered to remove waste from our projects.
Hannaford supports WRAP’s 'halve waste to landfill'. We do our very best to reduce waste from our projects therefore contributing to the goal of halving waste to landfill by 2012.
We know that our business is heavily reliant on the environment.
With a joinery shop at our core, we have become certified by the Forest Stewardship Council, an organisation set up to protect the world’s rain forests. FSC ensures adequate tree planting takes place to replenish the world’s tree growth levels.
Understanding our environmental impact is extremely important in how we work; and to understand our impact we need to measure it.
Every year between our Environment and Fleet Managers, we calculate our total CO2 emissions consumed through energy consumption and vehicle emissions. We then offset these emissions through worldwide tree planting schemes.
