This management system provides support for achieving the goals of our environmental policy and managing the interaction between plants and corporate services. It enables us to identify our strengths and weaknesses, control and reduce our environmental impacts, play a pro-active role in developing towards new legislation. It also allows us to minimise environmental risks and costs and to retain and improve social trust and customer satisfaction.
Our EMS lays down the environmental policy and objectives that provide the framework for the day-to-day activities and for environmental initiatives and action programmes within the Group.
It describes the environmental roles, responsibilities and organisation at plant and group level.
It further provides a framework for communication, reporting and sharing of environment-related information and technology, for monitoring, auditing and evaluation of environmental performance, for taking corrective and preventive action and for ensuring “Green Purchasing” practices.
Finally, it includes procedures to guarantee high standards of environmental protection, compliance with existing and upcoming regulations and continuous improvement of environmental performance.
