GPC operates within an Environmental Management System (EMS) based on the internationally recognised specification for environmental management, AS/NZSISO14001:2004. External certification of the GPC EMS to AS/NZSISO14001:2004 was achieved by the port early in 2006, and marked a positive step forward in the way the organisation manages environmental aspects of its business.
The EMS seeks to continually improve our environmental performance by highlighting any environmental risks, incidents, complaints or changes in legislation. It ensures that action is taken to prevent and/or control any environmental harm that may be caused by any of the activities performed by GPC in conducting its day to day operations.
The system continues to meet the requirements of ISO14001:2004. Maintaining this certification and demonstrating continual improvement into the future is a challenge that the GPC is committed to meeting.
GPC’s Environmental Policy supports a commitment to operating in a manner that allows for sustainable development and minimises environmental harm to the port and surrounding areas.
To achieve this we are committed to:
• ongoing improvements in our operations to minimise environmental impacts
• improving the level of awareness and understanding of our employees and the wider community
• establishing environmental strategies in association with external stakeholders.
