Environmental Policy

The Environmental Policy Statement below outlines our corporate commitment to minimise the effects our employees have on the environment while employed by FALCON TRANSLATIONS LTD.

We believe that businesses are responsible for achieving good environmental practice and operating in a sustainable manner.

We are therefore committed to reducing our environmental impact and continually improving our environmental performance, beyond regulatory requirements, as an integral and fundamental part of our business strategy and operating methods.

It is our priority to encourage our customers, suppliers and all business associates to do the same.  Not only is this sound commercial sense for all; it is also a matter of delivering on our duty of care towards future generations. Action on all parts of this policy will be the responsibility of all staff.

Our policy is to…
