Environmental Policy

environment   policy

The Board of Directors of ADT Fire and Security regard the promotion of environmental measures as a mutual objective for management, employees at all levels and those working for or on behalf of the Company, and are committed to providing the resources necessary to fully implement the Company Environmental Policy which is designed to satisfy the requirements of the BS EN ISO 14001:2004 standard, and operate environmental best practice throughout the Company.

All ADT Fire and Security offices will carry out their activities with consideration for the environment and habitats as part of the process to prevent pollution and minimise waste.

In order to meet the above requirements, ADT Fire and Security will:

  • Hold managers accountable for environmental performance of their areas of responsibility.
  • Monitor our use of energy and natural resources with a view to reducing our requirements by 25% by 2015.
  • Support engineering and process modifications that reduce pollution and waste and encourage recycling.
  • Maintain sufficient documentation to demonstrate compliance with the environmental requirements and our ISO14001 certification.
  • Comply with applicable environmental legislation and recognise other relevant requirements that may be placed upon us by Tyco, customers, investors and insurers.
  • Assess, in advance where possible, the environmental effects of any significant development, and adjust the Company plans accordingly.
  • Ensure all incidents and non compliance situations are reported, recorded and root causes identified where environmental harm occurs or could have occurred and ensure that corrective actions are implemented.
  • Demonstrate our commitment to continual improvement by setting targets and objectives for our Company activities and review these measures on a regular basis.
  • Maintain an open communication environment whereby all employees can actively participate in the Environmental Management System. Managers and supervisors are encouraged to address employees' questions and concerns promptly and thoroughly.
  • Provide the necessary information, instruction, supervision and training to enable all persons, affected by the Company undertakings, to carry out their environmental duties.
  • In line with a Tyco requirement, ADT has set a goal of reaching 75% landfill avoidance by the end of 2012.

This policy will be made available to our employees, to those working for or on behalf of the Company and provided on request to any other interested parties. This policy will be periodically reviewed in accordance with Company procedure. We also recognise that we have a responsibility to encourage our suppliers, to assist us in achieving our environmental objectives by providing products that are produced in-line with best environmental practice.
