We recognise the importance of understanding the impact of our activities on the environment and we are developing an Environmental Programme to demonstrate and benchmark our commitment. We are continually looking at ways to improve our efficiency across our sites. We promote energy and water efficiency, waste reduction, and reduction of potentially dangerous, volatile or environmentally damaging chemicals. We also have an ongoing commitment to reducing our carbon footprint.
We are committed to making a sustainable positive impact on the communities in which we operate. We aim to make a distinctive contribution to equality and social development through the establishment of effective partnerships and programmes that make best use of the energies and skills of our employees. We support our employees in fundraising for charities and voluntary work, recognising both the benefit to the community and to the employees themselves.
