Our Environmental & Sustainability Policy

01POLICY SECTIONPurpose

Ufuk Mekanik recognizes that its construction, infrastructure, engineering, maintenance, procurement, supply and logistics activities may interact with the environment. This policy establishes the principles used to prevent pollution, manage environmental risk, use resources responsibly and support continual improvement.

02POLICY SECTIONScope

This policy applies to company employees, offices, warehouses, workshops, project sites, vehicles, equipment, subcontractors and relevant suppliers operating under the company’s control or on its behalf.

  • Prevent pollution, spills, uncontrolled releases and contamination of soil, groundwater and surface water.
  • Use energy, fuel, water and materials responsibly and improve efficiency where practical.
  • Apply the waste hierarchy: prevention, reduction, reuse, recycling, recovery and responsible disposal.
  • Manage hazardous materials through suitable identification, Safety Data Sheets, labelling, storage, handling and spill controls.
  • Consider environmental performance, durability, recyclable content and reduced packaging in procurement decisions where feasible.
  • Consider biodiversity, natural habitats and environmentally sensitive receptors during project planning and execution.
  • Maintain proportionate environmental emergency preparedness and incident-response arrangements.
  • Provide relevant environmental information, instruction or training to employees and subcontractors.
  • Establish proportionate objectives, monitor performance and implement improvement actions.
04POLICY SECTIONResponsibilities

Company management provides direction and assigns responsibilities. Project managers and designated personnel implement applicable controls. Employees, subcontractors and relevant suppliers are expected to follow environmental requirements applicable to their activities and report spills, leaks, incidents and uncontrolled risks.

05POLICY SECTIONMonitoring & Review

Environmental performance may include electricity, fuel and water consumption, waste generation and recycling, environmental incidents, training and supplier or packaging practices. The policy is reviewed periodically and when significant legal, operational, organizational, client or environmental changes occur.
