Our own environmental policies and procedures are designed to meet or exceed relevant environmental legislation wherever our sites are located. We seek to minimize waste and reduce emissions from our own operations by efficient use of resources and using best available techniques. We have created a formal framework with targets known as Sustainability 2017. It is a 10-year program to reduce our impact on the planet and to improve the contribution that we make.
Sustainability 2017 has some key targets for us:
- Achieving carbon neutrality
- Reducing key resources by 50 percent per unit of output
- Sending zero waste to landfill
We aim to achieve these targets by 2017, our 200th anniversary.
