Responsibilities

As an independent, family owned business, SRC Group recognise the importance of our corporate social responsibility, and strive to ensure that our contribution to the environment, and surrounding communities is a positive one.

Sustainability is at the forefront of our practices, having transitioned our waste model from straight to landfill to one in which we recover and reintroduce the maximum content from waste back into the construction industry. Our work also involves restoration and remediation of old or contaminated sites, and the responsible disposal of waste materials.

Health and Safety

SRC Group are committed to eliminating the causes of fatalities, injuries and ill health from our workplaces through the adoption of industry safety principles and good practices through Vision Zero.

We embed safety in everything we do and are dedicated to ensuring operations never compromise the safety, health or wellbeing of our workers. Involving everyone in our Health and Safety Management System processes is vital in ensuring everyone engages through their active commitment. We continually strive to lower our environmental impact and improve our commercial performance.

Sustainability

SRC Group recognise the importance of sustainable solutions to protect the environment for the future, and as such have invested £3,000,000 into a state of the art recycling plant at our quarry in Great Dunmow. A range of construction waste can be screened, crushed; and washed at our facilities, and is then graded and reused. This enables us to optimise reuse of construction waste and greatly reduce the amount that is sent to landfill. We use the latest technology and machinery so that we can maximise efficiency whilst reducing our carbon footprint, and work alongside other companies on projects to reduce their environmental impact by using sustainable methods and recycled materials.

We monitor water, energy, dust, noise and air quality at each of our sites. We audit and measure our sustainability performance and impact on the environment, and have several policies in place to reduce our carbon emissions. SRC Group demonstrate our corporate governance and commitment to building sustainable business by accreditation to ISO 9001:2015

Equality and Diversity

At SRC Group we believe that every employee is key to helping us succeed as a business and fulfil our goals, and we strive to create a great place to work for our employees. SRC Group are an equal opportunities employer, and seek to provide opportunities and high standards of training based on individuals’ abilities and experiences.

We provide our employees with guidelines on equality and diversity, and are committed to maintaining a work environment where all staff are valued and respected. We aim to provide support and flexibility to meet our employees’ needs whilst also meeting customer demand.

Social and Community

As a family-owned business, SRC Group are committed to creating positive relationships with the community across our operational areas. We make regular donations to local parishes and support local events, for example in 2016 we took part in Dunmow Carnival, and provided lighting for Takeley fireworks. We have donated resources to several community projects over the last few years and we are also proud sponsors of Colchester Rugby Football Club and Dunmow Young Farmers.

SRC Group value investment into the industry’s future, and provide work experience placement opportunities, in addition to hosting open days for apprenticeship students. In 2017 we have pledged to provide Cycle Safety programs in local schools as part of a continuous effort to improve road safety.

Good Causes

Supporting our local communities as well as good causes and charities is important to SRC Group. In addition to donations and sponsorships we provide to local groups and sports clubs, our team are proud to support fundraising and charity initiatives.

In 2016 our employees have taken part in the Three Peaks Challenge and the Silverstone Half Marathon to raise money for charity. Looking forward to 2017 we have a team taking part in the London Moonwalk, raising money for breast cancer, and one of our directors will be participating in a community scheme in Albania to support local teenagers.

Quality

All of our products are subject to our diligent quality control measures; including our recycled aggregates which are produced under WRAP protocols and fully tested to maintain quality in line with Highways specifications.

SRC Group invest in our processes to ensure that we can deliver the best quality and service for our customers. Our procedures are accredited by BSI to ISO 9001:2015 in Quality Management Systems, and we are accredited by a number of industry associations for construction and haulage.
