Environmental Policy

Gavin Taylor Hair is responsible for producing natural and organic cosmetics.  We believe we have a responsibility to care for and protect the environment in which we operate and are committed to improving environmental performance across all our business activities.  We also encourage our business partners to support us in this effort.

• Gavin Taylor Hair recognises our key impacts to be in the areas of:

1.                energy use
2.                materials use
3.                waste generation
4.                emissions to air/water
5.                water use and waste water
6.                transport
7.                procurement

We will strive to:

• Adopt the highest environmental standards in all areas of operation, by meeting and exceeding all relevant legislative requirements.
• Assess our organisational activities and identify areas where we can minimise our impacts.
• Minimise waste through careful and efficient use of all materials and energy and the responsible disposal of waste materials and water.
• Purchase sustainable products wherever feasible [e.g. recycled, FSC or low environmental impact products and energy from renewable tariffs].
• Publicise our environmental position.
• Train employees in good environmental practice and encourage employee involvement in environmental action.
• Reduce risks from environmental, health or safety hazards for employees and others in the vicinity of our operations, including local flora and fauna.
• Adopt a green transport strategy, including a travel to work policy.
• Aim to include environmental and ethical considerations in investment decisions where appropriate.
• Assist in developing solutions to environmental problems in our own business and in our sector.
• Continually assess the environmental impact of all our operations and set meaningful and realistic targets to improve our performance.

  Gavin Taylor Hair has developed a series of action plans to supplement each of our environmental policy objectives. These can be found [in an appropriate place]. Gavin Taylor Hair will periodically review performance and publish these results in an appropriate manner. Signed __Gavin Taylor___ [Director]
