Statement of Policy

Garnell Corporation acknowledges the responsibility it has to protect the environment and to minimise the environmental impacts of its activities. In partnership with its team members, manufacturers, customers and suppliers the Company aims to operate to high standards of environmental protection appropriate to its business activities. The Company is firmly committed to creating strong business growth, which is not achieved at the expense of the environment, quality of life or social equity.

Garnell Corporation has developed this statement of environmental policy and is fully committed to its implementation.

The Company will act in a reasonable manner in taking the steps necessary to control the impact of its activities on the environment. Those impacts may well change over time and accordingly the Company will keep this statement under review and, at least once a year, re-
assess its suitability to the Company and its business activities.

Compliance, Environmental Risk & Pollution Prevention - Operating responsibly.

* Minimise waste and promote prudent and efficient use of energy, raw materials, manufactured products and natural resources.
* Maintain management systems that ensure high standards of environmental performance, conserve resources, prevent pollution and, where practicable, exceed regulatory environmental standards.

The Company supports the principle that in the area of environmental protection, prevention is better than cure.

Product & Business Development - Working with our customers and business partners.

Encourage the development of products and services from partners and suppliers whose environmental polices are compatible with our own.
Develop new products and services, which seek to achieve greater
sustainability through enhanced resource efficiency and improved delivery mechanisms.
Seek to turn environmental burdens and risks into sustainable business opportunities for our customers and the Company.

The Company adopts the principles of best practicable means and duty of care to establish the standards for all its activities. Adherence to those standards is mandatory.

The Company’s policy is to comply with, or exceed the statutory requirements (whether local, national or supra-national) applicable to it relating to environmental matters.

The Company seeks to develop, enhance, and monitor its operational standards, ensuring that environmental priorities are accounted for appropriately in planning and decision making.
