Chief Executive's Statement
2007 was a year of steady and pleasing progress.
For the third year running our much improved health and safety systems and record were recognised through the award of the ROSPA Occupational Health and Safety Gold Award. The statistics later in this report show that we maintained our record in 2007. This not only reflects our continued drive to reduce accidents, but is a credit to all our managers and staff. Health and safety is everybody’s responsibility and the improvements that we have seen could only have been achieved by the whole team playing a part.
I am very pleased that we met all but one of the targets we set for our environmental performance, including those covering sustainable forestry, energy consumption and environmental management systems. I am particularly pleased with the attainment of ISO 14001 status by our press site at Oldham. This now becomes the benchmark for all of our sites. As I said in last year’s statement, we do not set the bar on these targets at a deliberately low level but view them as only being worthwhile if they involve a stretch. With this in mind, we have continued to experience difficulties in measuring accurately the recycling of general waste across all of our sites. Nevertheless, the information that we do have indicates that we are also very close to achieving our 25% recycling target.
We have also become more actively involved with the Media
CSR Forum and fully endorse its work on media literacy.
