Environmental Policy Statement

The Lifeboat Inn is committed to enhancing our environment and we strive continuously to reduce our impact on the environment. We go beyond basic legal and regulatory requirements in order to fulfil both St Austell Brewery’s and our own environmental agenda.

We believe in training and investing in our team to raise awareness of environmental issues and enlist their support in improving our performance.

We are continuously measuring our impact on the environment through monitoring elements such as non-recycled wastage levels, electricity usage and gas usage. With the results we we aim to set ourselves targets to help us achieve ongoing improvement and minimise our environmental impact.

The following will underpin these objectives:

• Ensure our business is energy efficient and relevant procurement policies reflect that.

St Austell Brewery understands the necessity of reducing the effects of our activities upon the environment.

Our impacts have been identified as:

• Waste management
• Water usage.
• Employee awareness.
• Transport.
• Use of resources.
• Work with suppliers to keep packaging to a minimum.
