Environmental Monitoring

We are committed to ensuring we minimise any potential impact on the environment that could arise from our operations. This is enabled by our certified ISO 14001:2015 EMS framework and specifically by our environmental monitoring programme, which addresses the monitoring requirements of local environmental rules and permits. At our facility we measure environmental conditions such as ambient air quality and noise levels to ensure that we not only comply with environmental legislation, but also sustain a safe work environment for our employees and minimise any negative effects on the surrounding community.

Our commitment to ensuring that we protect the environment in which we operate is characterised by robust waste management programmes and monitoring programmes. We also encourage and support all of our employees and service providers to recycle their waste to the extent that we have provided a facility for employees to bring their segregated waste to work from where we process and send to the applicable recycling companies.

Stakeholder Engagement

We recognise the importance of engaging our stakeholders, including employees, service providers and members of the community, on environmental issues and concerns, and have developed several initiatives which support environmental stewardship.
