AccuBANKER - Environmental Policy Statement

1. Environmental management is an integral part of our business decision-making process, and we regularly measure our performance and strive to make continual improvements. The ultimate responsibility and authority for all environmental issues lies with the Managing Director, Mr H. Suzuki.
   
   
2. We are actively working towards ISO 14001 accreditation, and aim to achieve this by September 2006.
   
   
3. We continuously work to decrease our use of energy and materials, and to decrease the amount of waste we generate. This continuous process results in small changes in all areas annually, and over the last 5 years significant reductions in our waste disposal and energy use have been made.
   
   
4. We constantly work to inform and educate our workforce, to improve their environmental awareness and responsibility. This is done through in-house recycling schemes, with particular attention given to paper use and recycling.
   
   
5. Although AccuBANKER does not manufacture products on site, we are increasingly involved in product specification and development. Through this involvement, we are able to ensure that products and packaging materials are recyclable wherever possible, and that product lifecycles are lengthened to further reduce product wastage.
   
   
6. We always ensure that our products and operations comply with all applicable legislation, and actively work to support new legislation and directives as appropriate. We already have a policy statement on the CE - Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) directive.
