We will ensure that we undertake our activities in a socially and environmentally responsible manner within the context of our industry. As such, consideration and reduction of the environmental impact of our activities forms a key element of our business strategy. Central to our business is our Product Stewardship programme. This is a process which operates throughout our business, considering human and environmental safety at every stage of a product’s evolution; from raw materials, product development, manufacturing, packaging and storage through to marketing, sales, customer use and disposal/recycling.
