Environmental Policy

Environmental Impact

As evidence of this commitment, we will:

• Integrate environmental considerations into our business planning and operations to prevent pollution, minimise other negative impacts, and generate positive outcomes where possible.
• Implement an environmental management system that is based on the ISO AN/NZS 14001:2015 international standard, and is appropriate to the significant environmental aspects of our activities, products and services, and their impacts.
• Meet our legal and other compliance obligations.
• Monitor and measure key elements of our environmental performance, and seek to continuously improve outcomes.
• Set objectives for environmental performance improvement and assign responsibility to members of senior management. The achievement of these objectives will be included in those managers' Key Performance Indicators.
• Provide workers with awareness and training to help them make environmentally sound decisions.
• Communicate information regarding our environmental management system to interested parties via our web site and other means.

This policy and our EMS will be regularly reviewed by senior management to ensure continued effectiveness and improvement.
