Environmental Policy
We will carry out our business such that the environment is protected.
To achieve this we will:
Comply with law.
Identify and assess potential environmental aspects, assess associated risks and establish operational controls that aim to eliminate acute impacts and to eliminate or limit emissions to permitted emission quality thresholds.
Identify significant environmental aspects, where improvement targets need to be set, and to seek and monitor such improvements.
Establish and apply Environmental operational standards and processes including Environmental Impact Assessments and Environmental Management Plans.
Set environmental related targets; measure, appraise and report performance against those targets.
Analyse deviations from emission thresholds to identify control failures and implement the necessary corrective action.
Respond effectively to environmental incidents – Seek ways to minimise energy use in operations and use energy efficiently.
Reduce waste generation as far as is practical and dispose of waste in a responsible manner without creating legacy issues and liabilities.
Specify within contracts the environmental requirements and standards that shall be met by contractors and their sub-contractors.
Be able to demonstrate that, within operations, environmental risks and issues are understood and are being managed responsibly.
Carry out periodic audits and assessments of environmental controls as part of the continuous improvement process.
