We go beyond the mere fulfilment of the legal obligations, which concern EHS. We identify and aspire to meet other EHS related requirements to which our organization voluntarily engages, and are committed to the continuous improvement of our performance in all areas of EHS.

We endeavor to evaluate the impact and risk of every aspect of our activities and products on EHS.

We commit to the prevention of pollution in all our activities.

We research, develop and promote innovative solutions with the aim of improving our EHS performance over all phases of the product life cycle for the benefit of all our stakeholders.

We promote and uphold a high level of care for the health and wellbeing of our employees and we involve our employees and staff representatives in the layout of their workplaces and other EHS activities.

We design work systems, products and services according to health, safety, ergonomics and environmental requirements in all phases of the product life cycle.

We assess potential actions for improvement and engage in appropriate legislative review processes and actively participate in stakeholder forums.

We make our stakeholders, all people working for or on behalf of our organisation and the public aware of our EHS Policy and provide comprehensive information about the protection of EHS.
