ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY POLICY

marigroup

Intent

This Environmental Sustainability Policy formalises our commitment to supporting the principles of environmental sustainability and recognises that a sustainable environment is central to our lives and our work.

Our ambition and commitment are to contribute to meet the global commitment to the Paris Agreement1 and the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN’s Agenda 20302. The long-term objective is to achieve a climate-neutral value chain no later than 2045, so that our customers can also do so.

The aim of our Environmental Sustainability Policy is to:

implement environmental actions within the company
monitor the environmental actions and improvements internally
communicate environmental initiatives internally and externally
work towards ISO 14001 and implement it into our operation at a later stage

Scope

This policy and associated procedures apply to all directors, staff and contractors working for the company.

Our customers are always looking for new sustainable solutions. Sustainable development is a key in our product development plan, and we are always looking for new ways on improving our products to meet our customers’ requirements and goals.

Business partners also have a duty to minimise their impact on the environment and must comply with all relevant regulations concerning environmental legislation. Business partners must at all times keep up to date with current environmental legal requirements that are relevant for the ways in which business partners’ activities, products and services affect the environment, and through education courses, awareness training, management and supervision of operations, business partners must ensure that all legal requirements are complied with.
