We shall observe international accords, which may pertain to countries where we sell our products. We will also be responsive to individual customer concerns with respect to environmental matters.

2. We shall commit to protecting the environment and will strive to prevent and reduce pollution, air emissions (including GHGs) and noise levels by our actions and we will eliminate or minimize the use of substances known to be environmentally undesirable.

3. Hazardous substances, Water and Solid Waste shall be identified, controlled and disposed in alignment with local legislation.
