Finbarr
Galvin Ltd is a retailer of new and used
ŠKODA,SEAT and CUPRA in Clonakilty Road, Bandon Co Cork. We are also
authorized repairers and conduct services for the ŠKODA, SEAT & CUPRA brands.
This policy document applies to
all operations and business activities of Finbarr Galvin Ltd and is reviewed
annually. Due to our close partnership with Volkswagen AG, it is closely
aligned with Volkswagen’s Group Environmental Policy Statement as well
as its Group Environmental Mission Statement „goTOzero“. We will transparently
communicate this Environmental Policy Statement to both all our employees and
our external stakeholders.
1. Our
commitment
In view of global environmental
challenges such as climate change and the decline in biodiversity, it is
incumbent on all of us to take appropriate measures to protect our natural
environment and thus our livelihood.
Therefore, also we as Finbarr
Galvin Ltd feel committed to this goal. The effective protection of the
environment has a significant relevance on our economic performance and is part
of our overall corporate responsibility. Taking a holistic view which
encompasses the entire life cycle, our overarching objective is to reduce the
environmental footprint of our activities to a minimum and provide sustainable
mobility solutions for our customers. In addition to complying with legal
requirements and official regulations, this, above all, includes our commitment
to making our products, processes, sites and services continuously more
environmentally compatible.
In particular, we focus on the
following four impact areas:
Environmental
Compliance
In our
decision-making processes, we take environmental aspects associated with our
activities into account and control them with prudent management, including
regular management reviews and status updates.
Climate
Change
We strive to
continuously reduce our emissions and energy consumption. We achieve this
through the reduction of our energy demands and conscious procurement and
investment decisions. We support mobility concepts that are environmentally
friendly and promote the usage of renewable energy sources whenever possible.
Ecosystems
We promote
biodiversity, minimizing our negative impact on flora and fauna and proactively
working to prevent the pollution of our environment and any impairment that
this may cause.
Resources
We are continuously
and consistently increasing resource efficiency, especially through the
reduction in the use of natural resources such as water and soil, and reducing
our waste generation through avoidance, reduction, recycling, and reuse.
2. Our key
principles
In the context of the commitment
outlined above, we manage our activities according to the following principles:
Leadership
Our managers at all
organizational levels are aware of the environmental risks arising from their
business activities. In both their actions and their words, they reinforce
their commitment to conduct that complies with both the law and the company’s
interests, and to being a role model in environmental matters. They are
responsible for ensuring that the requirements described in this Environmental
Policy Statement are implemented and complied with in their area of
responsibility. Our managers make sure that all staff are informed, correctly
trained and accountable for the tasks assigned to them. In their area of
responsibility, they create an appropriate framework in which employees and
business partners can communicate especially sensitive environmental issues
openly and without fear of negative consequences. Our Management will consider
environmental leadership with equal weight to other business criteria in key
company decisions.
Compliance
We comply with regulatory and
legal requirements and act in accordance with our voluntary commitments, as
well as our corporate standards and objectives. Our management approach ensures
that ecological aspects and obligations in our business activities are
identified and appropriately considered. Compliance with this Environmental
Policy Statement and with Group environmental requirements will be annually
evaluated and reported to the Management.
Stakeholder
Collaboration
The involvement of our employees,
customers, suppliers, and other stakeholders is important to us. We want to
improve our understanding of their environmental expectations and requirements.
Stakeholder input is considered and reflected in our operations, products and
services. We provide transparent and reliable information in our dialogue with
and reporting to our stakeholders.
Continual
improvement
As part of our efforts to reduce
the environmental impact of our entire operations and, therefore, improve our
environmental performance, we commit to continual improvement of our
environmental management. This includes monitoring and measuring progress and,
if necessary, taking corrective measures. We always strive to achieve our
objectives and exceed the expectations placed upon us.
