Mission statement

Everything we do has an effect on our environmental impact.  Hampshire Fire and Rescue have committed to reduce this impact.  The Environmental Working Group have been tasked to research, report and help to implement ideas and initiatives to make this happen. Therfore our mission as a group is .......

"To provide ways in which HFRS can reduce its environmental impact in a sustainable maner"

 

Environmental Management Systems (EMS) - ISO14001

An international voluntary standard for environmental management systems is the definition of ISO 14001

As the environment covers every department with such a wide scope it would only be sensible to have an environmental mamangement system.  This would include a policy, strategy and register containing all of our environmental aspects and impacts.

As you can imagine this involves a lots of work. We are working towards the goal of obtain the ISO by 2010, so watch this space...
