500 accepts that it has responsibility for the harmful effects its operations have on both the local and global environment and is committed to reducing them. In particular:
We communicate our environmental objectives to all our employees so that they understand and implement the policy in their daily work. Therefore, the policy is included in our staff manual.

Our Company Directors have ultimate responsibility for the company’s environmental policy and performance.

This policy statement provides the framework on which our environmental programme is based. This enables us to set targets and measure progress as well as strive for continuous environmental improvement.

Through a programme of continuous improvement we will:

• aim to measure our impact on the environment and set targets for ongoing improvement where practicable;
• comply with all relevant environmental legislation;
• enlist the support of our staff in improving the Company’s performance;
• minimise waste by evaluating operations and ensuring they are as efficient as possible;
• promote recycling;
• source and promote a product range to minimise the environmental impact of its installations.

We will also encourage the adoption of similar principles by our suppliers.

The Company’s environmental management system will monitor delivery of these commitments.
