Operational Issues
Effective internal communication of sustainability issues is a key focus of our strategy. In order to effectively embed sustainability issues throughout the business, there is a need to provide a clear understanding of such issues to all staff.
To reflect our commitment to sustainable development, Redrow has formulated a Sustainability Policy. In this policy we have identified six key performance areas, which are monitored and reviewed by the Corporate Responsibility Committee, chaired by a Non-Executive Director. This policy has been endorsed by the Board of Redrow plc and identifies specific areas where we will target improvement of our performance.
- Every new starter with Redrow undergoes at least a one day induction. This includes an introduction to Sustainability and outlines Redrow’s Sustainability Strategy.
- Our Construction teams have a week-long induction process that includes 2 full days dedicated to Health and Safety and Sustainability issues.
- Our Sales teams also have an extensive induction programme, which includes a full day’s training on Sustainability.
- Existing staff also benefit from a structured range of ongoing training courses on health, safety and environmental issues.
All new starters receive a copy of the Health and Safety and Environmental policies on their first day of employment and are required to positively adopt these principles.
The Redrow intranet provides a wealth of information on sustainability issues, including dedicated Health and Safety and Environmental pages. Here staff can access all our Policies, Procedures and Standards as well as finding information on best practice, progress updates, newsletters and standard forms.
Sustainability issues are integrated within the departmental policies and procedures across the company.
On an annual basis the Health & Safety Director carries out site visits accompanied by the Managing Director and Construction Director in each Homes Division.
