At i-TEX & the wider Behrens Group, our strategic objective is to provide a coherent framework of good environmental practice within our operations. We seek to minimize the impact of our operations and those of our supplier partners through the implementation of an ISO14001:2015 compliant Environmental Management System. We are committed to complying with legal and other relevant requirements, preventing pollution and continual improvement.
Our Environmental Management System is documented, implemented, maintained and communicated to all employees. Whilst operating with clients and suppliers we will work with their Environmental Management Representative in achieving shared goals and objectives in line with the client’s own systems. We monitor our performance through a series of Environmental Objectives which are reviewed by our Senior Management Team.
Our policy is to purchase goods and services which are produced and delivered under conditions that do not abuse or exploit any persons or the environment. The following considerations form part of the evaluation and selection criteria for all goods and services purchased by i-TEX & the Behrens Group as a whole:
• Employment is freely chosen
• Working conditions are safe
• No child labour
• Living wages are paid
• Working hours are not excessive
• No discrimination is practiced
• No inhumane treatment is accepted
• All suppliers must adhere to our policies
• Commitment to continual improvement of processes
