Environmental Commitment
Our Commitment to the Environment
At Blackwater Aggregates, we are dedicated to upholding the highest environmental standards across all our operations. Whether you are sourcing loose or bagged materials, rest assured that our products are produced with minimal environmental impact, adhering strictly to relevant standards.
Our Environmental Policy
Our commitment to the environment is reflected through our rigorous Environmental Policy. By following this policy, we maintain excellent compliance levels and minimise our operational impact on the local environment. It’s our way of ensuring that our practices not only meet but often exceed regulatory requirements.
Proactive Environmental Initiatives
We are proactive in our environmental initiatives, going beyond the basic requirements. Notable actions include:
- Installation of an Otter Holt at a local pond following signs of otter activity.
- Setting up bat and bird boxes to support local wildlife.
- Woodland planting to enhance biodiversity.
Restoration and Biodiversity
We are committed to restoring the land affected by our operations. All our sites have a restoration plan in place, which aims to create a landscape that is more biodiverse than before. Our restoration efforts include:
- Detailed contouring and landscaping plans.
- Introduction of ecological features such as otter holts, bat boxes, newt fences, and extensive tree planting.
These efforts ensure that the areas we rejuvenate offer a rich habitat for a diverse range of flora and fauna, post-quarrying.
Join Us in Our Journey
We invite our stakeholders, including customers, partners, and the local community, to join us in our journey towards a more sustainable and environmentally friendly future.
