Environmental Policy

This Policy Statement outlines Element Packaging's endorsement and approach to environmental management and intends to communicate to all interested parties, the overall aim of our ISO 14001 Environmental Management System.

The company regards environmental issues to be especially important, and we shall aim to limit the environmental impact that our business has wherever feasibly possible. For regulatory as well as corporate social responsibility reasons, we shall commit to environmental protection and prevention of pollution and shall fulfill our applicable legal/compliance obligations.

Awareness of the aspects of our own operations that can have an impact on the environment shall be maintained. These include:

• Ensuring that goods and services purchased from suppliers are manufactured in an environmentally responsible manner 
• Using energy sources more responsibly by reducing our electricity consumption and fuel consumption and increasing awareness on energy conservation among our employees. 
• Committing to implement a structured waste management plan and promote recycling and re-use of waste as much as possible. 
• Providing a larger variety of eco-labelled products (e.g. organic products) as an alternative option to promote awareness and change consumer behaviour regarding sustainable consumption. 

We shall also endeavor to influence others outside of our organisation, especially if there is an opportunity within services provided for substitution to less environmentally damaging options.

Element Packaging is committed to continual improvement of the environmental management system to enhance environmental performance. Taking into account our significant environmental aspects and the principles laid out by this environmental policy statement, through our management processes, we define and monitor environmental objectives and targets, against which continual improvement can be demonstrated.

This policy statement shall be communicated and understood throughout the company and shall be made available to the public upon request.
