    ENVIRONMENT

    Protecting the environment

    Many of our activities even when managed in a responsible manner can have an adverse impact on the environment. We continually seek new ways by which we can continue to service the energy needs of modern society while protecting the environment that these resources are derived from.

    Systems (EMS)

    Environmental Management Systems (EMS)

    All our major operations have the ISO 9001:2008 certification, which sets out the requirements for a quality management system standard that covers all areas of business including people, training, services, equipment and facilities. We conducted an Environmental Evaluation Assessment of our environmental management systems (EMS) during the year to assess opportunities for improvement.

Our aim is to achieve zero spills,
zero gas leakage and zero fire incidents.

Our environmental policies have been communicated to all employees and business partners as a first step to managing our impact and are available on an internal shared portal. Senior leadership are aware of the importance of responsible environmental behavior around air quality, biodiversity, water and waste management towards the long-term viability of our operations.

Managing Our Impact

"We are mindful of the impact of our activities on our various stakeholders and on the environment. We work at identifying, understanding and proactively managing these impacts in a responsible manner"

Impact Assessments

The Company has an Environmental Assessment Policy that provides guidance to employees on procedure in this area. Prior to the commencement of any project, an environmental impact assessment (EIA) is taken to evaluate the potential environmental and socio-economic influences within the proposed location of activities and how our operations could affect them

Waste Management

Our operations generate a significant amount of waste. We need to effectively manage this to prevent harm to the environment, and to the health of people and animals. We currently achieve this through the operation of the 4Rs waste management technique - reduce, reuse, recycle and recover.

Water & Air Quality


Water is a natural resource and an important one for our business. As a regulated business we are subject to standards in relation to water conservation and air pollution limits. Therefore we need to maintain efficient systems that reduce any negative impact of our operations on these precious resources.

Spill Control


We take spill prevention very seriously and have in place robust preventative measures to reduce the risk of spills as much as practicable. In 2013, there was a reduction in volume and number of environmental spills and there were no major incidents

187.923m3

of water recycled or reused by operations in 2013

Organisations like WaterAid and the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) view Water Management as a matter that requires urgent attention. We share their concern. Therefore we are looking at different ways to measure the effect of water usage in our operations including methods that will help us increase the use of recycled water, and water quality treatment.
