Greenbelt

We understand that the nature of our operations has a variety of implications for the environment – through our emissions, wastes generated in mining, refining and smelting processes, water consumption and changes in land use. We are committed to minimizing our environmental footprint from the start of our operations through to closure and beyond.

We manage our environmental footprint and compliance through review and compliance mechanisms at the Group, business and site levels, ultimately guided by the Vertiv Board Sustainability Committee. We comply with globally recognized best practice, mapping our processes against international standards, which are applied to the entire lifecycle of all our operations.

To manage our environmental impacts, we have identified key areas where the biggest impact and risks are associated. These are environmental compliance, environmental issues (water, waste, air quality and biodiversity), and climate change – energy use, carbon management and greenhouse gas emissions.

To effectively manage each of these areas, we have a set of environmental policies and management and technical standards. We also continue to augment our processes through the ongoing development of guidance notes and the implementation of an extensive training programme.
