Target Zero

ZERO HARMZERO CARBONZERO ACCIDENTSZERO DEFECTS

ZERO HARM to the environment

We purchase a vast amount of materials and resources to deliver and build our clients visions; the choices we make sourcing these materials can have a huge impact. Recognising the impact of our operations on the environment, we have implemented an environmental management system in line with its requirements of BS EN ISO 14001:2015 to underline our commitment to preventing and minimising these aspects of our operations wherever possible. 

We have identified the purchase of material, work processes, production of waste, energy use and transport are our main environmental impacts. We are implementing controls and procedures to minimise these impacts while ensuring resources are used efficiently and in a socially responsible manner.

We pay special attention to our product selection and have strong procurement standards and criteria ensuring our purchases have the smallest possible impact on the environment.

iDCC’s Zero Harm initiative is heavily embedded within our Culture and is fundamental in all our business choices and is accredited to the internationally recognised ISO 14001.
