Kight BESS Scotland Ltd and all its suppliers recognise that we have a responsibility to the environment beyond legal and regulatory requirements. As part of our commitment to environmental sustainability and continual improvement, we will conform to the internally recognised ISO 14001 Environmental Management System, (EMS).
Kight is committed to reducing our local and global environmental impact by reducing gross scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions; conserving and monitoring energy, water, and other natural resources; reducing waste generation; recycling where feasible and reducing our use of toxic materials.
It is our policy to seek continual improvement to enhance our environmental performance and is an integral part of our business strategy and operating methods. Kight strives to satisfy the requirements of all our customers, stakeholders and interested parties wherever possible, meeting and exceeding their expectations.
Kight will conform with all compliance obligations, codes of practice and all other requirements applicable to our activities including the nature, scale and environmental impacts of its activities, products, and services; the reduction of hazards, prevention of injury, ill health, protection of the environment, including prevention of pollution, sustainable resource use, climate change mitigation and adaptation, and any other specific commitments which are relevant to the context of the organisation.
By adhering to the principles of ISO 14001, this environmental policy provides a framework for setting, monitoring, reviewing, and achieving our objectives, programmes, and targets.
Customer service and installation of technology in customers premises is an essential part of the environmental process and to ensure this is fulfilled, all employees receive training to ensure awareness and understanding of the environment and its impact of the products or service which we provide.
To ensure Kight maintains its awareness for continuous improvement, the environmental system is regularly reviewed by “Top Management” to ensure it remains appropriate and suitable to our business. The Environmental Management System is subject to both internal and external annual audits.
