Corporate Responsibility
Afren Environmental Policy
We will carry out our business such that the environment is protected. To achieve this we will:
- Comply with the 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.
