Environmental Management

Luxwood manufactures and installs structures, equipment and electronic systems for small through to large scale modular buildings.

Luxwood respects the natural environment and is committed to minimising the impact of its operations on the natural environment. This focus on good environmental practices is based on:

• A high regard for the natural environment

• Compliance with environmental legislation and regulations

• Company systems and processes designed to minimise the impact on the natural environment in the areas and sites where the company operates

• A commitment to comply with clients’ environmental management policies and practices

• A continued commitment to reducing emissions - supporting industry, project and Government plans to reduce emissions on the journey to net zero emissions which Luxwood undertook in 2017.

The company delivers on this environmental management commitment in the following ways:

• Staff induction and briefings on the Company’s obligations under environmental legislation and regulations

• Ensuring that equipment and operations comply with relevant federal, state and local government environmental regulations

• Respecting cultural heritage

• Briefing staff on client requirements for minimising impacts on the environment

• Safe and appropriate disposal of waste and rubbish

• Maximising the use of existing resources and minimising waste through reuse and recycling:

  • Recycling of paper, packaging and other materials to minimise waste to land fill.

  • Reusing materials where possible

  • Use of low energy light bulbs and minimising water use

  • Choosing low or lower energy consumption equipment

  • Greater reliance on electronic records to reduce printing and paper usage

  • Minimising energy and water usage in the office and on-site activities.

• Work with clients to introduce, monitor and report on any required environmental impact management procedures including energy and water use reduction

• Commitment to regular vehicle replacement to reduce environmental emissions. This includes programmed fleet maintenance to ensure high operational standards.

All staff and subcontractors have individual responsibility for understanding and applying this Environmental Management Policy in the performance of their tasks. Company management is fully committed to this Environmental Management Policy through an active focus on minimising environmental impacts and leadership by example.
