Southern Tank Services’ Social Responsibility Policy

Our Social Responsibility Policy is key to reinforcing our Company Values and Business Goals.

Our policies are based on these core principles that define us:

• Minimising the environmental impact of oil & fuel incidents and preventing them wherever we can.
• Integration of our Social Responsibilities with our business plans
• Compliance with Building Regulations and OFTEC Guidelines to ensure every piece of work we perform is to the highest standards.
• Ensuring that we keep our Customers & our Engineers safe and healthy wherever we can by providing the correct equipment and training
• Making sure that our Social Responsibility is improved upon year after year by reviewing our policies

Warmth

Ensuring that our customers have a working and safe oil supply means that we keep friends and families warm and healthy.
We recognise that a safe and functioning oil tank is more than just being warm & cosy. It is the security of a vulnerable individual’s health & wellbeing, the security of their fuel from thieves, the safety of wildlife and natural beauty from the devastation of an oil spill.
Securing these vital elements reinforces the peace of mind of our communities. Leading to a happier, easier time spent dealing with heating.

Teamwork

By continually supporting the development of our employees we create opportunities and growth for them and our business. We’re happy to invest in our engineers and office staff so that they can provide an outstanding level of service to our clients. With an increasingly expanding range of responsibilities involved in Southern Tank Services’ workforce training and development of our staff has never been more important.

The Environment

We do a majority of our work with Fossil Fuels. We’re aware that this means we are part of a carbon generating industry. However, it is our responsibility to protect the environment at large from the far more damaging effects of oil. Because oil seepage into the environment finds its way into both our water supplies and the rivers and springs that support our beautiful countryside. Oil contaminated water is capable of wiping out entire populations of animals and plants. Therefore, our work and ethics enable us to support the countryside by preventing any further damage to the environment. Not only that the cost of clearing up an oil spillage is enormous so we also protect our clients from that unexpected expenditure.

Suppliers

The exploitation of workers in our supply lines is unacceptable to us here at Southern Tank Services. Any form of harassment or intimidation will not be tolerated. No Human Trafficking, exploitation of children or young people will be accepted in our business. We take all reasonable & practical steps to reinforce these standards and ensure the safety & security of everyone we work with.
