• The prevention of pollution, including greenhouse gases, and the unintended release of substances that could cause harm to air, water, or land.
• Conducting regular environmental assessments at our facilities and making recommendations for improvement.
• The annual review of our Environmental Management System to ensure that it is appropriate for the nature, scale and environmental impacts of our activities and products.
• Training and encouraging our employees to conduct their activities in an environmentally responsible and sustainable manner.
• Establishing environmental objectives and targets and conducting an annual review of our performance.
• Product development and manufacturability processes are planned to minimize energy use and waste from the sourcing of material to the distribution to the customer.
