Environmental Performance
During the reporting period,we have continued to work on managing our environmental impacts.We have formalised our Environmental Management System at one of our premises - the MSVC distribution centre in Cork. We hope to achieve certification to ISO14001 at this facility during 2006, and roll out further implementations and certifications right across our business units within the next reporting period.
ENVIRONMENTAL BUDGETS
Budgets for environmental projects are agreed by divisional Environmental Action Teams (EATs)
in consultation with the Group Environmental Executive at the beginning of each year. The Group
Environmental Executive also manages a central budget for Group-based environmental projects.
Budgets for the reporting period are given in the Table below.
