We focus our environmental activities on those areas, which have a major impact on the environment.

Our guiding principle is that accidents and environmental harm can be prevented.
Continuous improvement and prevention of pollution are integral to every part of our business.

We will continuously evaluate the environmental risk factor posed by our operations.
We will be committed to complying with both national and international environmental legislation, regulations and other requirements.

We will not engage in work or activities where prudent environmental assessments have not been made. We will protect and maintain our image as a responsible and environmentally conscious organization by not engaging in business activities, which could lead to unacceptable environmental consequences or irreparable damage to the environment.

Business units should be certified by a reputable international certification body wherever such certification is required by statute, requested by the market and/or otherwise found to be positive and desirable by the business units.

Our company believes that solutions to most environmental problems lie in a combination of appropriate technology, the human factor, financial resources and proper management. Our efforts will therefore reflect our belief that concern for the environment will represent an important competitive and economic factor in the future.

This policy requires all employees to recognize, be committed to and contribute actively to reducing activities, which could degrade the environment.
