In effort to be more eco conscious, we have begun installing solar charging trickle batteries into our fleet. In our industry we understand we have a high ecological impact. Globally we use more concrete than any substance, bar water. That means concrete accounts for about 8% of the carbon dioxide (CO2) we emit into the atmosphere, this is substantially more than the aviation industry for example, which makes up about 2.5% of emissions.
LMS Highways are delighted to announce their new Avetta certification, Avetta is a supply chain solution which assures service providers conform to industry Health, Safety & Environment standards in order to maintain a safe environment and minimise risk on site.
