ARM recongnises that concern for the environmental impact of our operations is an integral part of best practice and is committed to meeting the challenges this represents.

Where practicable we will contribute to sustainable development by integrating environmental consideration into the design and management of our procurement of goods and services and the development, operation and maintenance of sites and facilities.

ARM will:

• Adopt a systematic approach to environmental management in order to achieve continual improvement of our contribution to the protection and enhancement of both the local and global environment;
• Commit to the reduction and prevention of pollution and waste and take positive action to conserve water, energy and other resources (particularly where non-renewable); and ensure waste disposal and effluent treatment are dealt with in a responsible manner;
• Promote environmental awareness and appreciation through our research and through our interactions with all other stakeholders;
• Ensure compliance with all applicable environmental legislation and other environmental requirements to which the company subscribes and which relate to the company environmental aspects;
• Co-operate with environmental regulatory bodies;
• Provide information and training necessary for employee involvement in meeting the objectives of this policy;
• Maintain contingency plans to minimize the impact of foreseeable environmental incidents;
• Assess and monitor the environmental impacts of our activities and develop ways of minimizing these impacts;
• Establish programmes for achieving environmental objectives and targets and progress these via management review.

• Ensuring that waste is correctly handled, stored and disposed off;
• Promptly reporting all accidents or incidents which could lead to pollution;
• Feeding back any suggestions for pollution prevention, waste reduction or energy conservation.

The overall responsibility for ensuring implementation of this policy lies with the company, which is ARM and its Chief Executive.
