Measurable targets and KPIs:

We recognize the importance of setting measurable targets to assess our environmental impact effectively. As part of this policy:

• Carbon Emission Reduction Goals: We are developing quantifiable objectives for reducing our carbon footprint, aiming to set clear, measurable goals for carbon emission reduction by establishing specific benchmarks.
• Resource Conservation Objectives: Establish KPIs to track and improve energy, water, and fuel efficiency, which will enable us to measure progress on resource conservation.
• Transparent Reporting: Commit to transparent and regular reporting of our environmental objectives, including progress towards targets and any challenges encountered. An annual environmental report will be shared with stakeholders.

Monitoring and Reporting

• To ensure accountability and continual improvement, we will implement regular environmental audits and assessments to monitor compliance, track progress on our objectives, and identify areas for improvement. These audits will contribute to an internal review process and guide our future strategies.

Policy Review Process

• This policy will undergo an annual review, with updates reflecting any changes in legislation, industry standards, or internal goals. Our goal is to align with recognized environmental standards, such as ISO 14001, to benchmark our progress and practices against international best practices.
