Nedlon Civils Limited takes ESG issues associated with its operations very seriously; whilst we are proactive in ensuring we integrate ESG, it is
essential that as we grow, we continue to assess our approach and reaffirm that what we are doing is in line with our beliefs and principles. To this end, this ESG Policy and its processes are reviewed and updated annually.

Our ESG statement can sum up Nedlon Civils Limited’s approach to ESG: “ESG issues can and do have an impact on performance, and we have a duty to act responsibly, to integrate Environmental, Social, and Governance factors into our business planning to have a positive
impact on our society, our prosperity, and our environment.” Nedlon Civils Limited defines issues as “numerous and ever-changing factors that impact upon our environment, our society and effective governance”.

Office Space
Nedlon Civils Limited occupies a single site, shared office space in the central Midlands so, unlike many other companies, employees do not need to travel between sites/offices. The following is not an exhaustive list but serves to outline the principal arrangements in place for the management of the environmental and social impact of the office.
Recycling
The company operates a rigorous primary, secondary, and tertiary recycling scheme that limits waste production. We recycle, where possible, any waste generated by the administration team including all paper, toners, and packaging materials, and any material waste
generated by production is recycled responsibly by an external compliant company.
Heating/Cooling systems & Lighting 
The heating and air conditioning systems are maintained to ensure that they work efficiently and at optimum temperatures to limit energy wastage.
The lights in the building are energy efficient, and all lighting operates either via motion sensors or on a timer so that they automatically switch off when not required.
Printing
We operate a 'print only if necessary policy, and print settings will default to double-sided printing and the use of recycled and recyclable paper.
Travel
Nedlon Civils Limited employees do travel to see potential projects and meet with partners, but at this stage, all travel is limited to the UK. Trains and other forms of environmentally friendly transport are always preferred, and journeys are scheduled where possible so that long-distance trips and/or deliveries incorporate multiple meetings or appointments.
Third-Party providers
Before engaging with third-party providers, Nedlon Civils Limited will often undertake an RFP process, and where practicable this will involve an assessment of their approach to ESG to ensure we work with partners who have a similar ethos to our own.

Health and Safety
Nedlon Civils Limited takes health and safety in the workplace very seriously. All employees undergo a health and safety assessment of their workplace when joining the organisation and are provided with a company handbook with regulations and standards regarding health and safety compliance whilst at work. Whilst not all of our accreditations specifically mention safety, we must meet the safety requirements of interested parties, identify hazards and take action to reduce risks and provide a safe work environment.

Remuneration structures
Nedlon Civils Limited has established remuneration structures that are competitive and transparent.
Auditor Selection
Nedlon Civils Limited are not a PLC and, as such, do not require an audit however, our company accounts are prepared and filed by an external team of independent accountants.  Should you wish to view our filed accounts, they can be viewed here at Companies House. 

Anti-Bribery & Integrity Policy Statement
Nedlon Civils Limited is committed to conducting business ethically and honestly and implementing and enforcing systems that prevent bribery. We have a zero-tolerance for bribery and corrupt activities. We are committed to acting professionally, fairly, and with integrity in all business dealings and relationships, wherever in the country we operate. Nedlon Civils Limited will constantly uphold all laws relating to anti-bribery and corruption in all the jurisdictions in which we operate. We are bound by the laws of the UK, including the Bribery Act 2010, regarding our conduct at home and abroad. We recognise that bribery and corruption are punishable by up to ten years of
imprisonment and a fine. Suppose our company is discovered to have taken part in corrupt activities. In that case, we may be subjected to an unlimited fine, be excluded from tendering for public contracts, and face severe damage to our reputation. It is that we commit to preventing bribery and corruption in our business and take our legal responsibilities seriously.

Equal Opportunities Policy Statement
Nedlon Civils Limited is an equal opportunities employer.  We are committed to ensuring that all our staff and applicants for employment are protected from unlawful discrimination in employment. What is discrimination?  Direct discrimination occurs when someone is treated less favourably because of a Protected Characteristic (sex, age, race, religion or belief, disability, sexual orientation, marriage or civil partnership status or gender reassignment) about their employment. Direct discrimination may even occur unintentionally. Indirect discrimination occurs where a provision, criterion or practice applied to everyone puts individuals with a Protected Characteristic at a disadvantage, which cannot be justified. Victimisation occurs were an individual is treated less favourably than colleagues because they have taken action to assert their statutory rights or assisted a colleague with information in that regard.

Harassment occurs when an individual is subjected to unwanted conduct that has the purpose or effect of violating that person’s dignity or creates an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment for the individual. This can include harassment related to a Protected Characteristic of the victim or another person (i.e., a colleague). This means that any comments or actions directed at
a person who relates to another person still constitutes harassment and is, therefore, unlawful.

5. Our policy complies with UK law accordingly implemented, including that required by the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

7. Except as set out below, we do not share, sell, or disclose to a third party, any information collected through our website.
The bases on which we process information about you
The law requires us to determine under which of six defined bases we process different categories of your personal information and to notify you of the basis for each category.
If the basis on which we process your personal information is no longer relevant, we shall immediately stop processing your data.
If the basis changes then if required by law we shall notify you of the change and any new basis under which we have determined that we can continue processing your information.
1. Information we process because we have a contractual obligation to you
When you create an account, buy a product or service from us, or otherwise agree to our terms and conditions, a contract is formed between you and us.
We must process the information you give us to carry out our obligations under that contract. Some of this information may be personal information.
We may use it to:
1.1. verify your identity for security purposes
1.2. sell products to you
1.3. provide you with our services
1.4. provide you with suggestions and advice on products, services and how to obtain the most from using our website
We process this information on the basis that there is a contract between us or that you have requested; we use the information before we enter into a legal contract.
Additionally, we may aggregate this information in a general way and use it to provide class information, for example, to monitor our performance concerning a particular service we provide. You will not be personally identifiable if we use it for this purpose.
We shall continue to process this information until the contract between us ends or is terminated by either party under the contract terms.
2. Information we process with your consent
Through certain actions when otherwise there is no contractual relationship between us, such as when you browse our website or ask us to provide you more information about our business, including property listing, business listings and our products and services, you provide your consent to us to process information that may be personal information.
Wherever possible, we aim to obtain your explicit consent to process this information, for example, by asking you to agree to our use of cookies.
Sometimes you might implicitly consent, such as when you send us a message by e-mail to which you would reasonably expect us to reply.
Except where you have consented to our use of your information for a specific purpose, we do not use your information in any way that would identify you personally. We may aggregate it in a general way and use it to provide class information, for example to monitor the performance of a particular page on our website.
Suppose you have given us explicit permission to do so. In that case, we may from time to time pass your name and contact information to selected associates whom we consider may provide services or products you would find useful.
We continue to process your information on this basis until you withdraw your consent or it can be reasonably assumed that your consent no longer exists.
You may withdraw your consent at any time by instructing us at info@nedloncivils.co.uk. However, if you do so, you may not be able to use our website or our services further.
3. Information we process for the purposes of legitimate interests
We may process information on the basis that there is a legitimate interest, either to you or to us, of doing so.
Where we process your information on this basis, we do after having given careful consideration to:
• whether the same objective could be achieved through other means
• whether processing (or not processing) might cause you harm
• whether you would expect us to process your data and whether you would, in the round, consider it reasonable to do so
For example, we may process your data on this basis for the purposes of:
• record-keeping for the proper and necessary administration of our services.
• responding to unsolicited communication from you to which we believe you would expect a response
• protecting and asserting the legal rights of any party
• insuring against or obtaining professional advice required to manage our business.
• protecting your interests where we believe we have a duty to do so
4. Information we process because we have a legal obligation
We are subject to the law like everyone else. Sometimes, we must process your information to comply with a statutory obligation.
For example, we may be required to give information to legal authorities if they so request or if they have the proper authorisation such as a search warrant or court order.
This may include your personal information.
Specific uses of information you provide to us

We store it and reserve a right to use it in the future in any way we decide.
Once your information enters the public domain, we have no control over what any individual third party may do with it. We accept no responsibility for their actions at any time.

6. Complaints regarding content on our website
Our website is a publishing medium. Anyone may register and then publish information about himself, herself or some other person.
We attempt to moderate user-generated content, but we cannot always do so as soon as that content is published.
If you complain about any of the content on our website, we shall investigate your complaint.
If we feel it is justified or believe the law requires us to do so, we shall remove the content while we investigate.
Free speech is a fundamental right, so we must judge whose right will be obstructed: yours or the person who posted the content that offends you.
If we think your complaint is vexatious or without any basis, we shall not correspond with you about it.
7. Sending a message to our support team
When you contact us, whether by telephone, through our website or by e-mail, we collect the data you have given to us in order to reply with the information you need.
We record your request and our reply in order to increase the efficiency of our business.

8. Complaining
When we receive a complaint, we record all the information you have given to us.
We use that information to resolve your complaint.
If your complaint reasonably requires us to contact some other person, we may give to that other person some of the information contained in your complaint. We do this as infrequently as possible, but it is a matter for our sole discretion as to whether we do give information and if we do, what that information is.
We may also compile statistics showing information obtained from this source to assess the level of service we provide, but not in a way that could identify you or any other person.

This is information you give us in your capacity as an affiliate of us or as a business partner.

The information is not used for any other purpose.
We undertake to preserve the confidentiality of the information and of the terms of our relationship.
We expect any affiliate or partner to agree to reciprocate this policy.
