Monitoring and review of performance via the management review.
Ensuring full legal compliance;
Preventing pollution; and
Continually striving to improve environmental performance.

In recognition of its statutory duties and in accordance with the provisions of any environmental legislation from time to time in force, Redstone shall take all reasonably practical measures to ensure full compliance with all applicable environmental legislation and regulations. In particular, Redstone shall ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, that:

the workplaces under its control are maintained in conditions that are designed to minimise the totality of Redstone impact on the environment;
its transportation activities shall be conducted and managed so as to minimise their environmental impact;
no environmental hazard arises from the proper use, handling, storage and transportation of articles and substances used in connection with Redstone work;
