Environment

Overview

Grant Instruments takes its responsibilities to the Environment very seriously. As a long-established privately-owned company, situated in a rural setting, it is very conscious of its impact on the wider world.

Our strategy for minimising our impact on the environment is based on four key principles:

Efficient products designed to work to high standards and with a long operating life, over which the energy used in production and transport can be amortised

Localised supply chain so that components are sourced close to our manufacturing location, where possible

Intelligent transportation so that we work with our suppliers, distributors and customers to manage the impacts of transportation of goods

Respect for resources in our manufacturing and business operations: we work to reduce the use of resources such as energy and water, and re-use and recycle materials where possible

Compliance

Grant Instruments complies fully with all relevant environmental legislation. In particular we would like to draw your attention to:

RoHS: All new products supplied meet the requirements of the RoHS Regulations, which implemented EU Directive 2002/95 in the UK with effect from 1 July 2006. For further details see www.rohs.gov.uk

WEEE: We work to recycle products at the end of their economic lives in compliance with the WEEE directive, introduced with effect from 2 January 2007 and amended from 1 January 2008.  We have partnered with a specialist electronic recycling company to achieve this. You will find the WEEE recycling symbol on the serial number label of our products. Further details are available from qualitymanagement@grant.co.uk
