BSA Caring for the Environment

When Managing Director Mark Foley issued the company's first environmental policy in September 2004, he set the long term direction for developments to minimise environmental impacts, reduce natural resource use and prevent pollution arising from operations across BSA.
Led by National Project Manager Kevin Bradley and his team, a key milestone was achieved in 2008 when BSA was awarded certification of our environmental management system to the international standard ISO 14001 by BSI Benchmark Certification. ISO 14001 is an internationally accepted set of rules that guides organisations like BSA when setting up an environmental management system.
The key component of all ISO 14001 environmental management systems is the determination of the organisations key objectives and measurable targets directed towards improving environmental performance and then operating programs to meet those objectives and targets. These objectives were recently set for the 2009 and 2010 calendar years and include such measures as paper reuse, no colour printing, duplex printing, recycling, and fortnightly eco-friendly Green Tips.
BSA is committed to adopting an environmentally responsible approach to all our business activities now and in the future.
