Environment Policy

Jesmond Pool And Gym is very much aware of our environmental
responsibilities and recognises that many of our activities provide an
important opportunity to protect and improve the environment in which we
work. We are focussed on managing and reducing the environmental
impact of our business and that of our suppliers.
We therefore attribute a high priority to the development and use of
materials, products, processes and services that seek to reduce the
environmental damage and waste.
