M&G recognises that, through day-to-day business activities and the investments made on behalf of customers, we have an impact on the environment. As part of the Prudential Group since 1999 we operate within the Prudential environmental policy. As a result we are committed to minimising that impact whilst preventing pollution and unnecessary damage to the environment from our operations.
We strive to:
- Continuously improve our environmental performance;
- Use energy and water efficiently;
- Reduce consumption of materials, through re-use rather than disposal wherever possible;
- Promote recycling;
- Develop policies and practices which raise awareness and encourage and enable our staff to make a contribution to achieving environmental improvement;
- Encourage our suppliers to minimise the impact of their operations on the environment through our procurement polices and practices;
- Take account of environmental considerations as part of our investment process;
- Apply the principles of best environmental practice in the planning, development, refurbishment and decommissioning of our buildings; and
- Develop environmental considerations into Product Development and Stewardship.
The Prudential Group has developed environmental objectives and targets through which our efforts towards achieving environmental improvement can be measured and will continue to monitor and review our environmental performance and policies.
