Environmental Management System Overview

The structure of our EMS is designed to drive continuous improvement and is represented in graphic form below.


In May 2001 a review of our EMS was undertaken by PriceWaterhouseCoopers. This review identified areas that needed further development to achieve our objectives. These included the need to:

• Strengthen governance structures
• Ensure consistency of approach across UK business units
• Develop a more comprehensive staff Learning and Communication programme

This year we have significantly progressed both our governance structures and the Learning and Communication programme.

 

Actions for 2002

• Update governance structures to reflect Management changes within Prudential UK Insurance Operations (announced October 2001.)
• Finalise EMS documentation to enable our system to be independently verified.
