This excerpt taken from the ELN 6-K filed Mar 30, 2009. Environmental
Impact
We are committed to responsible environmental stewardship
practices at all sites, to operating in full compliance with all
relevant environmental regulatory requirements, and to
establishing specific objectives and targets, where appropriate,
as part of an overall Environmental Management System. For
example, at our Athlone, Ireland, site, we operate in compliance
with an Integrated Pollution Control Licence granted by the
Environmental Protection Agency, and our specifically measured
compliance goals include air, water and
CO2
emissions; non-hazardous waste recycled; and hazardous waste
recovered.
Recycling, re-use and reduction of all non-hazardous waste
streams is practised at all facilities, and we have dedicated
Energy Management Teams at key locations.
We support environmental projects at the local community level,
particularly in Ireland, where we support two programmes of the
Shannon Regional Fisheries Board: a rehabilitation of the Cross
River, and the Lough Ree Fish Hatchery. We cover employees’
entry fees at the Athlone Recycling Centre, and we support the
“Green Schools” initiative, an international
environmental education programme.
