In addition to our long-term green food, fuel and energy commitments and our working practice of the Phoenix cyclical model of sustainability, the Phoenix Group follows an Environmental Management Programme, which includes:

• Ensuring a duty of care with regard to the disposal of waste
• Using recycling or recovery opportunities and identifying waste streams
• Encouraging the use of products or services which have the least environmental impact.
• Following targets and objectives with regard to environmental management and actively record and monitor performance standards.
• A commitment to ensure that staff are aware of environmental concerns and that activities are conducted in an environmentally responsible manner
• Following the protocol outlined by our integrated Pollution Prevention and Control Permit

Our full environmental policy is reviewed on an annual basis, during which we incorporate new operational changes and new legislation or guidelines.
