The objective is to have at least 75% of our consumption from recycled sources. - Pursuing our Energy Policy in which our original aim is to reduce our consumption of
energy on a like-for-like basis. - Reducing the creation of waste by the adoption of improved operating practices
and by the recycling of materials whenever practical. - Ensuring all waste and effluent is disposed of in a safe and responsible manner.
- Ensuring all emissions to air comply with relevant current and planned legislation and
that at least 99.5% of all Volatile Organic Compounds are removed during the process. - Complying with all environmental legislation.
