Environment Policy
In the pursuit of our mission to provide world class chauffeur drive services, Devine’s Chauffeur Service recognises that in our day-to-day operations we inevitably impact on the environment in a number of ways.
As a consequence of this, the management are committed to continuous improvements in environmental performance and prevention of pollution wherever and whenever possible.
Environmental regulations, laws and codes of practice will be regarded as setting the minimum standards of environmental performance.
Employee involvement in environmental matters is encouraged at all levels and is promoted through training, communications and a constant reappraisal of working methods and techniques.
In particular Devine’ s are involved in the following initiatives:
- Regularly maintaining our vehicle fleet, with continual endeavours to operate our fleet at maximum utilisation to achieve optimum efficiency (all new vehicle acquisitions are to Euro 4 standard), and continually researching new developments and products relating to fuel efficiency. We also work constantly with Daimler Chrysler on their latest technology developments in their Mercedes Benz vehicles
- Eliminating the carbon footprint of our vehicle fleet. In partnership with the company we invest to eliminate the effect of our fleet on the environment in both the short-term and long-term.
- Providing One water in all Devine’s vehicles as the chosen complimentary water. One donates all its profits to the building of roundabout powered PlayPumpsT in African villages that have no easy access to clean drinking water. In September 2006 PlayPumpsT International was pledged support at the Clinton Global Initiative by the US government, The Case Foundation and The MCJ Foundation.
- Operating a company policy of “Reduce-Reuse-Recycle”, whereby we recycle office consumables such as paper, plastic and cans in association with Greener World recycling. All our paper and cardboard is taken to be pulped into recycled paper, our cans go to be recycled into new cans, and our plastic goes to be recycled into coat hangers and pens.
The directors and senior managers of Devine’s are committed to the implementation of this policy and will give full backing to all those authorised to fulfil its objectives.
