Thomas Bow & City Asphalt are leading Property Maintenance, Surfacing and Civil Engineering Contractors, able to supply services across a wide area of the Midlands.

Both companies are committed to providing first-class products and services, and thus total customer satisfaction. We demand quality from both ourselves and our suppliers, so that we can consistently provide the best products and services in the marketplace.
To achieve this, they have established, and operate Quality and Environment Management systems which meet the requirements of BS EN ISO 14001

The management is responsible for the effective implementation and maintenance of this Policy. This will be ensured by the provision of adequate resources and a disciplined approach.

The company policies have also been set to support the aims and framework contained within the environmental policy document for Thomas Bow and City Asphalt, and the companies will:

• maintain management systems that are designed to ensure compliance with the law and the prevention of pollution. We will strive for continuous improvement in all that we do, and will work to ensure that environmental considerations are fully integrated into all business processes.
  
  
• work to the highest standard of social and ethical behaviour, adding practices that fully embody this responsibility, and communicate this policy to all stakeholders.
  
  
• introduce processes that reduce waste, and where waste may not be eliminated, will arrange for environmentally sound treatment and disposal, or find markets where it can be used as a raw material.
  
  
• conserve water resources, by recycling wherever practicable; ensuring compliance with discharge consent conditions; and by taking steps to minimise the risk of accidental or malicious pollution.
  
  
• maximise efficient use of energy in the businesses, and minimise any potentially adverse affects that activities, products and services may have throughout a life cycle.
  
  
• incorporate sustainable development thinking into operations by considering the social, economic and environmental dimensions when we do our business planning.
  
  
• where appropriate will conserve existing habitats and create new ones which support plants and wildlife both during operations, and after they have ceased.
