EHS Policy and Principles

Policy

It is AFL’s policy to operate worldwide in a safe, responsible manner which respects the environment and the health of our employees, our customers and the communities where we operate. We will operate in compliance and will not compromise environmental, health or safety (EHS) values for profit or production.

We are committed to continual review and improvement of our environmental, health and safety performance and will include environmental, health and safety objectives, targets and metrics in our annual business or operating plans. We support the responsible use of natural resources, energy conservation, waste minimization and pollution prevention.
