JCA Coatings Limited believes that it has a responsibility to achieve good environmental practice and continue to strive for improvement in its environmental impact. The effective use of resources makes sound commercial sense. Our aim is to work towards sustainability by continuous improvement in our environmental management and performance, and by encouraging support from our suppliers.

We are committed to complying with all industry wide legislation, and endeavour to work effectively with all stakeholders to ensure compliance and adherence to all environmental issues.

We ensure that all employees are fully educated and trained on the environmental issues that affect them and are constantly looking to develop procedures and programmes to achieve our environmental goals.

Distribution is the essence of our business and we take active steps to ensure that all transportation issues are carried out as efficiently as possible, helping to reduce carbon emissions and use of natural resources.

We have systems in place to provide our customers with an effective waste management programme, in order to recycle and actively dispose of products. We also provide all our customers with Material Safety Data Sheets (‘MSDS’) and Technical Data Sheets for those products that contain volatile composites, and are therefore potentially damaging to the environment.

Moreover, we are also working with our customers to manage the changeover from solvent to waterborne paint more effectively, following new industry legislation from January 2007.

The board of directors are fully committed to the implementation of this policy.
