The company is founded on the principal of continuing development of both the whole and the individuals within it and this applies every bit as much to the impact on the environment as to all other aspects of the business. This is achieved through an ongoing programme of training of the individuals and a continuous raising of the level of awareness throughout the company by the updating, distribution, and implementation of the Environmental Management System.
