GML recognises the fact that all businesses have some influence on the environment.

The following key points have been identified as helping us to meet our obligations in terms of the environment:

A commitment to continuous environmental improvement however small

Recognition of compliance with relevant environmental legislation as a minimum level of performance

The education and training of employees in environmental issues and the environmental effects of their activities

The monitoring of progress and review of environmental performance on a regular basis.

In addition at all operation sites we ensure the following:

• Minimise waste
• Efficient use of water and energy
• Use of biodegradable chemicals
• Minimising use of solvents and lead-based paints
• Use of timber from sustainable (managed) forests
• Seek to minimise noise disturbance to neighbours

GML is committed fully to contributing towards ensuring the protection of the environment.
