Environment
Our industry faces a wide range of environmental challenges including climate change, the use of hazardous materials and increasing environmental legislation.
The Group Environmental Policy applies to the Company and to all subsidiaries worldwide. It commits the Group to: prevention and control of pollution; minimising environmental impacts; eco-efficiency; and adopting responsible environmental practices.
Supplier Code of Conduct
The purpose of our Supplier Code of Conduct is to establish standards to ensure that working conditions in our supply chain are safe, that workers are treated with respect and dignity, and that business operations are environmentally responsible and conducted ethically.
The Code encourages suppliers to go beyond legal compliance, drawing upon internationally recognised standards, in order to advance social and environmental responsibility and business ethics.
Governance
The Board seeks to build and maintain good governance structures and thereby appropriately manage risk in the business. The Board continues to be committed to high standards of corporate governance and fully supports the principles laid down in the UK Corporate Governance Code.
