We are committed to minimising our potential impact on the environment. As a minimum requirement, we operate in compliance with all environmental legislation and strive to utilise relevant environmental best practices in all our operations.
We recognise that by meeting our obligations to detect and mitigate those adverse effects that our operations may be having on the environment, we can not only reduce pollution, energy consumption and waste but also provide our business with valuable commercial benefits.
The key points of our environmental strategy are:
- Implement a rolling program of inspection and site audits;
- Evaluate our operations to ensure that they are as efficient as possible;
- Develop and maintain appropriate emergency and spill response procedures;
- Educate and inform our employees about any environmental issues which may affect their work and encourage them to behave in an environmentally responsible manner;
- Re-use and recycle where possible;
- Promote efficient use of materials and resources;
- Avoid unnecessary use of hazardous materials and products;
- Exchange information to share methods of best practice and the use of the best available technology.
Through the above, we aim to demonstrate environmentally responsible practice and we encourage our suppliers and customers to follow similar environmental best practice methods.
