Objectives
During 2012 and 2013, we aim to:

· reduce the generation of general and hazardous (special) wastes
· inform all customers and suppliers of our commitment to reducing our environmental impact
Targets
To achieve our aims, we have set ourselves the following targets:
· define good housekeeping for solvent and use, and where possible use natural biodegradable solvents.
· ensure all employees receive training in good housekeeping by May 2012 and incorporate this training into the induction programme for new starters.
