Environmental limits

We see clear business advantage in taking a leadership position on environmental issues, recognising the opportunities in helping customers reduce their own impacts and respond to environmental pressures.

Improving our own performance in areas such as carbon and waste reduction will reduce our costs. As customers increasingly consider environmental performance – from carbon footprints to ecology – in their purchasing decisions, a leadership position will give us competitive advantage. Environmental factors are also creating new markets for us, from alternative energy generation and transmission to protecting assets from climate change.
