Environmental management
Summary of progress during 2005
During 2005, Trinity Mirror further improved and consolidated its environmental management system arrangements. Building on what has been achieved in recent years to review and characterise the Company's environmental impacts and set targets for improvement, the Executive Committee agreed during 2005 to the establishment of:
- A new Environmental Policy
- A clearer framework of management responsibilities
- New procedures and action plans for delivering against Policy objectives and targets
The new policy provides a better foundation for environmental management within Trinity Mirror. The policy is now aligned with the important issues and defines the basic principles governing the Company's approach.
The Executive Committee have joint ownership of environmental issues within Trinity Mirror's Risk Management framework, with the Secretary and Group Legal Director and Group Manufacturing Director as main points of contact. A management framework has now been clearly defined showing specific responsibilities allocated to Executive Committee members, Senior Managers and supporting Managers respectively.
Action plans have now been documented, setting out how the Company intends to achieve its environmental improvement targets. Progress and performance will be monitored using a new audit and review procedure that covers compliance with legal requirements, progress against targets and periodic review by senior management against the Company's Policy commitments.
