Environmental Policies
Belrain Consulting Ltd is committed to providing a quality service in a manner that ensures a safe and healthy workplace for our employees and minimises our potential impact on the environment.
As a company we take our environmental responsibilities seriously and as such we have developed an Environmental Management System that is externally audited by a UKAS registered company to ensure it meets the latest requirements of ISO 14001. We operate in compliance with relevant environmental legislation and other applicable requirements and commit to continual improvement and protection of the environment.
Our Company objectives are to:
- Work with our clients (mostly retail companies) to ensure the sustainable provision of potable water in the most efficient way and without detriment to the environment.
- Carry out our activities in such a way as to protect the environment, reduce waste and save energy.
We will achieve this by:
- Providing a framework for setting and reviewing environmental objectives and targets through our Environmental Management System.
- Promote efficient use of materials and resources throughout our operations including water, electricity, consumables and other resources, following the ’eliminate, reduce, reuse, recycle, dispose responsibly’ waste hierarchy.
- Committing to continually improve our environmental performance and minimise the environmental impact of our activities by periodically reviewing our Environmental Policy in light of our current and planned future activities.
We encourage employees to help continually improve the environment and reduce waste and we ask for their feedback at quarterly team briefs. We communicate this Environmental Policy during induction training and make it available publicly on our website.

General Data Protection Register (GDPR) Policy
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has comed into force on 25 May 2018 and affects every organisation which holds or processes personal data. It will introduce new responsibilities, including the need to demonstrate compliance, more stringent enforcement and substantially increased penalties than the current Data Protection Act (DPA) which it will supersede.
Belrain Consulting is committed to high standards of information security, privacy and transparency. We place a priority on protecting and managing data in accordance with accepted standards including ISO 9001. The company complies with applicable GDPR regulations
Belrain Consulting carries very little personal information, the data it holds is primarily personnel information. Belrain Consulting request from its clients that any personal information be removed or anonymised prior to it being sent.
Compliance
Belrain Consulting has a robust ISO-based Integrated Management System (IMS) and in order to ensure compliance will implement additional controls to meet GDPR requirements within the IMS using internal and external advisors.
Updated information security policies and procedures will build on existing management systems (including ISO 9001) and the Information and Confidentiality policy, data risk assessments and supported by communication and training programmes.
Compliance will be supported by a review of existing contracts with data controllers, the use of sub-contractors and any data export arrangements.
In many areas the services provided by Belrain Consulting already conform. The company has undertaken risk assessments to include more detailed consideration of the data types we hold and a data protection impact analysis of personal information stored.
Belrain Consulting will not pass on any personal information to third parties in any form (e.g. electronically or physically) and will retain any information securely (Password controlled and encrypted where applicable) and will not hold on to any such information for longer than is necessary or required to be held.
Accountability lies with the Directors.
If a breach involving personal information takes place we will establish the likelihood and severity of the resulting risk to the individual’s rights and freedoms. If it’s likely that there will be a risk arising then we will notify the ICO as soon as possible, seeking to do this within 72 hours of the breach occurring. If such breach/loss is likely to result in a high risk to individual rights and freedoms we will directly notify any individuals that have been affected.

Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy
Belrain Consulting and all its staff from the top down strongly believe in human rights and no one within our Company condones the use of slave labour or human trafficking in any form. We believe that the best service can only be provided by having a motivated, well trained work force with everyone free to develop and pursue their ambitions. We will do our best to train, nurture and support all our employees.
We do not have a documented process or policy in place to ensure our suppliers are not involved in slavery or human trafficking, but as a service company we buy very little and therefore the risk of buying from any Company that uses slave labour is negligible. Clearly if we did hear of anyone using slave labour, human trafficking or anything illegal or unethical then then we would not buy from them.
