Aware that the activities of NRGI are likely to have some impact upon the environment, the following policy has been drawn up to minimise any adverse effects on the environment, consistent and appropriate with the determined environmental impact of the scope of our activities, products and services.

The basic policy is:

“Our environment is precious to us; we will respect and protect it”

We recognise environmental conservation as one of the most important missions given to mankind and we regard environmental conservation as an integral element in all our business activities. We, therefore, assume responsibility for environmental conservation and approach this on a company wide basis.

Through our commitment to continual improvement in our environmental activities and in compliance with all relevant legislation, our Environmental Management System establishes a desire to prevent pollution and set objectives and targets to measure our performance. Our environmental objectives and targets include :-

• Reduce our C02 emissions
• Energy consumption - Electricity
• Waste reduction - packaging, paper and general office waste.

NRG International senior management have a commitment to:-

• Implement, publish, communicate and maintain an Environmental Management System.
• Provide sufficient resources to achieve our objectives and targets.
• Allocate roles and responsibilities as required by the system.
• Continually review our performance against published objectives and targets in the environmental manual by ongoing internal and external audits.
• Ensure our continued compliance to both legislative and other requirements (including health & safety) to which NRG International subscribes.
• Document the environmental management system and ensure all our staff are trained in its use and application to achieve environmental best practice.
• Make the environmental policy available to all interested parties through our web sites and our Business Excellence department.

The employees of NRG International share a commitment to:-

• Work in accordance to the intent and practices contained in the environmental management system and the Ricoh Group Corporate Social Responsibility Charter.
• Report and communicate any incidents or ideas which may assist the management to review processes to prevent future reoccurrence and to facilitate improvements in our environmental performance.
• Ensure that all contractors and third parties comply with the spirit and intent of our procedures.

NRG International will provide a regular management review process to discuss the environmental management system and to take into account all future changes in the needs of the business, and relevant legislation. The success of the policy will come from the individual and combined efforts of our staff to ensure its effective implementation in all areas of the business.
