Environmental
Policy Statement

Cabinco Ltd. creates a wide variety of sustainable timber buildings which meet full UK Building Regulations. Cabinco buildings are suited to screw pile foundations (amongst others) which reduce mechanical handling, save time and energy costs and minimise on-site disruption.

Our range includes:

Cabinco timber buildings are all environmentally sound structures, supplied with low E glass and clad with Siberian Larch which does not require preservative treatment as it is naturally weather resilient. We are proud that our buildings have won a number of prestigious environmental awards.

Cabinco Ltd. holds both FSC and PEFC Chain of Custody Certification, and our buildings can be specified against BREEAM standards.

The company recognises its responsibility for the effects its operations have on both the local and global environment and is committed to minimising harmful effects.

In particular the business uses timber sourced from Northern Europe for its products, and the building specification we agree with our clients has a major influence upon the building’s life-time energy use.

Cabinco Ltd. aims to measure the impact on the environment of these and other activities, and seeks continuing improvement.

This will be achieved by maintaining an Action Plan which will be reviewed and updated annually to take account of developments within the business and changes in both legislation and technology. In particular we will:

  • Continue to evaluate the sources and types of timber from which our products are made.
  • Evaluate each operation and ensure it is as efficient as possible to minimise energy
  • consumption and waste.
  • Enable clients to assess the impact of building specification upon energy use.
  • Actively promote recycling, both internally and amongst our customers and suppliers.
  • Minimise our carbon impact by selection of electrically efficient equipment and through
  • careful selection of means of travel, commensurate with operational requirements.
  • Meet or exceed the requirements of all the environmental legislation that relates to the business.
