The Board acknowledges its responsibilities for ensuring that environmental risks arising from the activities of its businesses are properly identified, managed and controlled, and that its businesses are compliant with all local laws, as well as with best practice – the latter where it is practicable.

Environment Policy

Each of our two divisions has its own environmental policy, which has been approved by the Divisional Operating Boards which is integrated within existing management structures and implemented through normal business practices and procedures.

These environmental policies address the following areas:

• allocating roles, responsibilities and resources;
• complying with legislation and best practice;
• monitoring, verification and auditing of compliance;
• data collection, analysis and reporting;
• risk identification, assessment and management;
• communication and dissemination of information;
• adopting technology and working practices that are modern, environmentally friendly and energy efficient; and
• working with customers and suppliers to address environmental issues affecting our businesses.
