Environmental Sustainability Policy

Introduction

The environment is under severe stress from modern human activity.

Richmond Dairies accepts that it must work to preserve the environmental sustainability, at all levels of its operations- in its own practice, as a participant in the community, and as a participant in the Australia economy.

Richmond Dairies aspires to minimise its impact on the environment and maximise the effective use of resources. We strive to achieve this by increasing communication and awareness of our efforts in accordance with this policy and fostering responsible environmental behaviour amongst staff, and stakeholders, at all levels.

Richmond Dairies is committed not only to complying with applicable law in all of its operations but to minimise risks and impacts through the development of robust and documented systems to implement, measure, monitor and disseminate excellent environmental performance both within its operations and to the broader community.
