Environmental Management System

Fitzgerald Lighting is currently working on an Environmental Management System with the hope of gaining ISO14001 certification. An important part of the system is to have an Environmental Policy that reflects the main environmental objectives of the company. Fitzgerald Lighting’s policy not only proves that Fitzgerald are committed to reducing waste and energy consumption but also shows that we are prepared to invest in our staff to enhance this system.

Environmental Policy

Fitzgerald Lighting Group Ltd is a well established lighting manufacturing and distribution company. We manufacture a wide variety of commercial and industrial lighting products using a combination of manual and robotic manufacturing techniques and we then distribute the products globally. We are committed to complying with accepted environmental practices, to strive for continual improvement in our environmental management system, and to minimise the creation of wastes and pollution. We will, therefore, manage our processes, our materials, and our people in order to reduce the environmental impacts associated with our work.

We will ensure that the company complies with all relevant environmental legislation, regulations and any other requirements to which the company subscribes.

Improvements in our environmental performance will be achieved by:

• Reduce waste, reusing and recycling where practical.

• Minimising the consumption of energy where practical.

• Achieve and maintain an environmental management system that complies with BS EN ISO 14001, enabling improvement objectives and targets to be established and implemented.

• Provide suitable and sufficient information, instruction and training to all employees to enable them to work in an environmentally friendly manner and to achieve the company’s environmental objectives. Encourage a change in the company’s culture to enhance the thinking of the employees to a ‘greener’ way of thinking.

Our Environmental Policy is documented, implemented, maintained and communicated to all employees, and is also available to the public on our website www.flg.co.uk.

Fitzgerald Lighting and the WEEE Directive

The Directive

The EC directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) (SI 2006 no 3289) came into force in the UK on the 1st July 2007.
The broad aim of the WEEE Directive is to address the environmental impacts of electrical and electronic equipment when it reaches the end of its life and to encourage its separate collection, treatment, re-use, recovery, recycling and environmentally sound disposal.
Fitzgerald Lighting is responsible for the treatment, disposal and wherever possible recycling of all its products produced since 13th August 2005, these are marked with a crossed out wheelie bin underlined with a thick black line -

                                                          

Our Responsibility
Fitzgerald Lighting has registered as a producer of Non Household EEE with Lumicom Ltd and its responsibilities under the Waste Electrical and Electronic (Producer Responsibility) Regulations 2006 will be discharged under the Lumicom compliance scheme. Our WEEE producer registration number is WEE/AH0073UQ
Lighting Products put on the Market before 13th August 2005 (historic waste)
In compliance with legislation Fitzgerald Lighting will accept back for disposal through Lumicom any historic WEEE of any manufacture.
This only applies where new Fitzgerald Lighting products have replaced the equivalent number of historic WEEE products on a like for like basis. Any historic WEEE to be returned on this basis must be advised prior to our acceptance of the order and a method and timescale agreed for the return of this waste. Please contact our After Sales Department for details.
Lighting Products put on the Market after 13th August 2005
To arrange disposal of any Fitzgerald Lighting products under this scheme please contact Lumicom. Lumicom will take charge of directing the scrap to a metal transfer station for recycling.  If the volume is sufficient they will supply a skip to site.  If the volume is too small to justify a container, a delivery note will be issued to the contractor with directions to the nearest metal transfer station to take the material for recycling

 Note: Lamps not branded Fitzgerald Lighting are the responsibility of the lamp manufacturer marked on the lamp. Most lamps are returned via the Recolight Scheme at www.recolight.com.
All products returned must have their lamps and any batteries removed before return, as these items reduce the ability of a lighting product to be recycled due to pollution.
