Protecting the environment
Climate change is happening now, and it's our responsibility as individuals and as a business to tackle these problems. We have pledged to reduce our environmental footprint by tackling air pollution, single-use plastics and wasteful packaging whilst supporting greater recycling and a host of sustainable travel initiatives.

- Establish safeguards against all identifiable environmental risks;
- Continuously improve environmental management skills of personnel;
- Have a commitment to continual improvement;
- Have a commitment to prevention of pollution;
- Have a commitment to comply with relevant environmental legislation and any other selected requirements.
These objectives will be achieved by:
- Identification of environmentally significant impacts of the organisations operations and the imposition of management system controls for these;
- Implementing and complying with requirements of ISO 14001:2015;
- Motivating respect, responsibility and concern by employees for the environment.
All employees are reminded that they are expected to comply with Safety and Pollution Prevention Regulations and Procedures at all times, and to take necessary precautions to protect the environment.
