Our Commitment

Environment

The environmental context in which we operate is continually evolving, driven by higher production capacity, new compliance requirements, improved environmental management systems and a cumulative gathering of intelligence and experience from each year's successful programs.

In past years we have used the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) G3 reporting guidelines to inform our environmental reporting. This year we have built upon this approach and have used the GRI to guide and broaden our sustainability performance reporting. Our reporting is self declared as GRI B application level. A copy of our GRI level check is available here.

The diagram highlights our most material environmental issues. We believe that these will remain the key focus areas for our environmental management for some time to come.

Each year we review these subject areas to ensure that emerging issues are also captured by our reporting and management practices. We also aim for consistency in our disclosure to allow for year on year comparison in performance.
