Environmental Policy
Tolko is committed to the well-being of future
generations through responsible environmental performance.
This is a key value of the Company. Our ability to operate
the business, satisfy customers and other stakeholders and
build sustainable economic success is increasingly dependent
on our environmental performance. Our commitment applies to
all aspects of our business.
Tolko’s Management Team, drawing on the
input of employees and stakeholders, provides strategic direction
and resources to help the Company honour this policy. This
includes ensuring that employees receive the education and
training necessary for them to carry out their work in an
environmentally responsible manner. Employees will actively
participate in environmental management and challenge operating
principles they believe can be improved.
Activities that support this policy
are:
- Complying with environmental laws and regulations
and other requirements to which we commit;
- Continually improving our environmental performance;
- Integrating the requirements of environmental
laws and regulations and our other commitments into business
planning and decision making;
- Managing forest land in a professional and
sustainable manner consistent with Tolko’s Forest
Management Principles;
- Managing operations to minimize pollution;
- Evaluating our environmental performance
through internal and external audits, reviews and benchmarking;
- Communicating environmental, social and economic
performance with our employees, the public and other stakeholders;
and
- Encouraging and recognizing employees for
their contribution towards improving our environmental performance.
Tolko’s performance will be reviewed
and reported annually.
