e) it is documented, implemented and maintained and communicated to all employees and by appropriate means, to all others who are or may be involved in or affected by our actions.
f) It is available to the public.

The general environmental issues that we seek to address and the general approaches that we seek adopt in implementing this policy, include:

a) reduction of waste and reduction of resource consumption
b) prevention of polluting releases to the environment
c) designing and planning, strategically, existing and new services for optimal performance whilst minimising any negative environmental impacts that may arise from their delivery
d) controlling the environmental effects of raw material resourcing
e) ensuring that employees and other relevant Company representatives are trained to understand our environmental policy objectives and that they have the skills to implement it
