• Assessing in advance, the environmental impact of any new significant facilities or operations, and mitigating against that impact, wherever possible.

• Conserving resources by monitoring and controlling the use of energy and resources.

• Regularly auditing site based activities, to ensure compliance with the environmental policy and the environmental management system.

• Comply with all relevant legal requirements and to implement programmes and procedures to ensure this is achieved.
