Environmental Management Framework
The objectives of our environmental safety efforts are to:
Environmental Risk Identification: Environmental impacts associated with our operations, products, and services will be assessed to identify environmental risks.
Environmental Impact Assessment: Environmental impacts associated with our operations, products, and services will be assessed to identify, assess, and determine appropriate mitigation measures.
Potential Risks to the Marine Ecosystem: Potential risks associated with our operations will be identified and appropriate mitigation measures will be implemented to minimize the release of pollutants into the marine environment.
Pollution Prevention Measures: Pollution prevention measures will be implemented to minimize the release of pollutants into the marine environment. We will ensure compliance with applicable environmental regulations, standards, and licenses governing our operations, including regulations related to marine pollution prevention, waste management, and biodiversity conservation.
Environmental Monitoring and Measurement: Environmental monitoring programs will be established to track key environmental indicators, measure our environmental performance, and identify areas for improvement in response to environmental impacts, including oil spills, chemical spills, and other emergencies that may pose a threat to the marine environment.
Emergency Response: Emergency response procedures will be established to respond effectively to environmental incidents, including oil spills, chemical spills, and other emergencies that may pose a threat to the marine environment.
Roles and Responsibilities
- Management: Management is responsible for providing leadership and direction in environmental safety efforts, including setting environmental objectives, allocating resources, and ensuring the Environmental Safety Policy is implemented.
