Environmental & Sustainability Policy

Purpose and scope

This policy applies to Intralink Group Limited and its subsidiary companies. It sets out the company’s commitment to environmental sustainability. This policy applies to all our activities, employees, contractors and relevant external stakeholders.

In this policy “sustainability” means meeting the needs of present generations without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs, particularly with regard to the use and waste of natural resources.

We recognise that our activities can have a significant impact on the local and global environments. We aim to minimise the negative environmental impacts arising from our activities while maximising the positive impact of the services we provide.
