Environmental policy

Note Printing Australia (NPA) designs, manufactures and markets banknotes, passports and security solutions for Australia and other strategic customers.

NPA recognises the significance of environmental responsibility as contributing both economically and culturally to good corporate citizenship.

We will seek to minimise the environmental impacts of currency, passport, security printing and associated activities by implementing and maintaining an environmental management system based on the ISO 14001:2004 international standard, that will assist us to:

• Achieve compliance with applicable legal and other requirements, related to its environmental aspects;
• Strive for continual improvement in our environmental performance, including waste reduction and efficient use of resources;
• Prevent pollution of air, land and water by maintaining effective controls to minimise environmental discharges and prevent inadvertent environmental impacts;
• Set and review environmental objectives and targets;
• Maintain monitoring programs and, where necessary, implement corrective actions;
• Conduct regular management reviews to ensure our environmental objectives and improvement targets are met;
• Educate our employees and contractors in the environmental aspects of their jobs.

The environmental policy is communicated to all NPA employees and contractors, and is available to the public on NPA’s website at: www.noteprinting.com.

NPA’s EMS has the support of the Executive Committee and staff.
