Environmental objectives and targets are developed, that are economically and technically feasible, based on the impacts of the environmental aspects resulting from operations.  The objectives and targets ensure continual improvement consistent with commitment to the environment.  New operations and activities are reviewed for their impact on the environment and objectives and targets are updated accordingly.

The technical development process includes a review of alternative resources to minimize the impact on the environment.  Manufacturing operations are conducted with consideration of reductions in the use of energy and creation of waste through improvements in production efficiency, quality programs and process equipment design, recycling and reuse of resources where possible, and general good housekeeping and maintenance activities.  Impact to air, water and land are monitored to assure maintenance of maximum control and minimal impact to the environment. Continual improvement and prevention of pollution is ongoing.
