An Environmental Management System (EMS) consisting of corporate standards and guidelines is in place to support the objectives of the policy and formalise Hills’ commitment to continual improvement in relation to the way its business impacts upon the environment. Hills Holdings Ltd is committed to aligning this system with the requirements of ISO 14001 and conducting internal and external audits to assess compliance.

The “Greener Way to Work Day” encourages employees to ride, walk, use public transport or to carpool to work, and experience the health, financial and environmental benefits that come with leaving the car at home.
