The standard maps out a framework and provides the assurance to company management, employees, customers and external stakeholders that environmental impact is being monitored, measured and improved.

Mark Chapman, Management Representative - QHSE Systems at HPC explained; "In day-to-day operations, HPC seeks to minimise waste, reduce energy consumption and reduce harmful emissions. Recycling of waste has, for some time, been commonplace throughout the company, from office paper recycling through to specialist fluids being cleaned and re-used. HPC is also committed to work with suppliers that share its environmental views and common goals".

The environment and our responsibility to protect it, whether at a local level or globally, has always and continues to be a high priority in HPC.
