The Environment Protection Policy was produced to layout the measures for preventing environmental pollution. For further information please contact Dave Martin who is the Manager in charge of environmental issues.

Maintain an Environmental Management System compliant to ISO 14001. Ensure that individual employees understand their responsibilities towards the environment. |
|
b) |
Raise the level of employee awareness of environmental issues and promote a responsible, accountable and environmentally aware culture throughout the Group. Provide training and instruction to help employees perform their work efficiently and to reduce detrimental impacts on the business or the environment. Train employees to manage the environmental impacts of their work. Encourage employee reporting of non-compliant practices to senior management wherever they believe it is appropriate. |

|
h) |
For all products, focus on product stewardship and identify ways of improving efficiency throughout the supply chain and manufacturing process to reduce consumption of materials, energy and other resources and to minimise waste and harmful emissions. Sensitivity to environmental issues should be incorporated in the planning, design and operation of facilities and services, including the recycling and reuse of materials and reduction in the use, or replacement where possible, of substances which may be harmful to the environment. Develop and market products and services to meet current environmental legal requirements. Promise the environmental credentials of the Group and its products to customers and the public at large. Each successive product should be targeted to be produced more efficiently than its predecessors and, where appropriate, should be capable of being reused, recycled or safely disposed of. |
