Performance against the long term goals will be regularly audited and the results reviewed along with this policy statement before setting new targets for the next EMS cycle to ensure it stays appropriate to the companies' activities.

Sekari will communicate regularly on environmental performance and planned future initiatives, and welcomes both suggestions and voluntary participation in EMS projects.
