Environmental Management System Overview

Our Environmental Management System (EMS) enables us to effectively manage and deliver our environmental policy in order to insure compliance with UK legislation. The EMS is also the means by through which we seek to improve our operational efficiency and minimise harmful impacts on the environment.

One of the key purposes of this report is to illustrate how our operations in the UK are working together to ensure our environmental objectives are achieved. The pyramid below shows the flow of information between group, business unit and local level.
