Environmental Policy
JL is focused on continuous development of its various business activities
worldwide in order to create value for its customers, partners and owners.
This can be achieved by management of the activities with competence,
accountability and enthusiasm to ensure economic benefit while
simultaneously ensuring the safety of people, ships and the environment.
With respect to safeguarding the environment each business area will:
• Manage our activities in compliance with all applicable national
and international laws and regulations.
• Endeavour to prevent pollution by establishing relevant operational
procedures, ensuring compliance with those procedures by means of audit and
inspection, and providing means for their review and revision.
• Endeavour to use environmentally responsible practices in its
activities, put into practice appropriate monitoring programmes, and set
and review objectives and targets to monitor the improvements.
• Endeavour to reduce the environmental impact of its activities by
efficient use of resources, avoidance of materials with significant
environmental impacts and by employment of responsible disposal
practices.
• Demonstrate accountability by disclosing its environmental
performance.
• Follow the developments of technologies for environmental
improvement relevant to the business. Assist research and development
initiatives where such support does not conflict with the safe economic
operation of its activities.
• Ensure that the awareness, enthusiasm and respect for the
environment are an integral part of the company’s daily life through
education and continuous improvement of the competence of employees, both
at sea and ashore.
