ENVIROMENTAL POLICY

We care about the environment and not only recognise but appreciate that our operations may have an impact on the environment locally and ultimately globally. At Orchard we believe it is our obligation to consider all aspects of our products' impact on the environment, throughout their life cycle: From raw material selection, right through to sustainable production methods as well as the reduction of waste and pollution in all aspects of our manufacturing process. We are, and will continue to address the latest environmental issues through our Environmental Management System, which is under constant review and assessment so as to ensure that it continually evolves to suit the ever-changing needs of the environment we live in, our customers, the legislation that we must adhere to as well as our corporate needs.

"Destroying rainforest for economic gain is like burning a Renaissance painting to cook a meal."

Edward O. Wilson

We are committed to continual improvement in all aspects. Our commitment to the environment is also reflected in our stated aim to achieve the best environmental ratings outcome possible, for our entire product range.
