1. PURPOSE

FluidOne is an environmentally conscious organisation and as such we acknowledge the potential environmental impact that our telecommunication carrier activities and network build and support activities may have on the environment.

This policy has been endorsed by the CEO who gives his full support to its implementation. The C-Suite, in co-ordination with the Integrated Management System (IMS)  representative, are responsible for ensuring that it is communicated, understood, implemented and maintained at all levels within the organisation.

2. APPLICABILITY

This document is applicable to all FluidOne employees and organisations working for us or on our behalf. Employees and other organisations are expected to co-operate and assist in the implementation of this policy, whilst ensuring that their own work, so far as is reasonably practicable, is carried out without risk to themselves, others, or the environment.

This policy will be reviewed annually at C-Suite level and where deemed necessary will be amended and re-issued. Previous versions of this policy will be archived and are available upon request. This policy statement is brought to the attention of all employees by being displayed on site, and covered in induction training may be reasonably requested by any interested party.

3. Policy

We are committed to the prevention of pollution and continual improvement of our environmental performance. This has been facilitated through the setting of environmental objectives based on our significant environmental aspects. These objectives are documented, allocated targets and programmes and periodically monitored and reviewed.   The results of which are communicated throughout the Company and to our clients, suppliers and contractors and local residents where appropriate. As an organisation, we are committed to ensuring that we:
