Environmental Policy

Whitcon Environmental Management System (EMS) is a documented Management Plan that allows our company to not only control and manage Environmental aspects and impacts but also to verify its compliance with legislation and with tendering requirements. Policies are managed on our integrated systems disk

Our environmental policy is currently in the process of being accredited with The Department of Commerce.

This Management Plan for the environment is based on the New South Wales Government’s Environmental Management Systems Guidelines, the Australian and New Zealand Standard International Organisation for Standardisation AS/NZS ISO 14001:2004 Environmental Management Systems – Requirements with guidance for use, and on current best practice principles.

This EMS has been developed specifically for our company and complies with tendering requirements under the New South Wales Government’s Environmental Management Systems Guidelines.

The EMS is a structured plan that provides mechanisms for management to address the Company’s need for a detailed program for environmental issues.

The system will ensure that:

• There is management commitment.
• There are documented policies, procedures and guidelines.
• There is appropriate supervision and control.
• There is compliance with state legislation, relevant Australian Standards and Codes of Practice.
• Relevant training.
• Relevant data and information is collected and reported.
• There is a process for review.
