Our environmental strategy is founded on our desire to play an important role in contributing to a sustainable future. Over the last year, we have experienced the benefits of our investment in efficiency, reducing business risk, acting responsibly and reducing our resource use and costs.
Last year we reduced our carbon emissions resulting from energy use by 10.67%, reduced our overall waste by 4.65% and managed to maintain our previous efforts to significantly reduce our paper use. Within the next 12 months, we aim to have a Global Environmental Management System.
