The Environment

B&M Longworth view the protection of the environment as a commercial and moral concern. This has led to an increased interest from customers asking for assurance that the company is capable of carrying out its environmental duties and also meeting legislative requirements.

The company promotes an environmental management system based on the requirements of ISO 14000. By demonstrating environmental compliance B&M Longworth promotes a responsible image and provides a safe and cleaner working environment. The company employs a wide range of service methods and specific techniques to reduce environmental impacts and are fully committed to minimising the impact of their operations on the environment.

B&M Longworth strive for continuous improvement and as a result have conceived and developed a new superheated steam process which has enabled the company to reduce its energy consumption and also dramatically reduce the amount of hazardous solvent waste produced on site.
