Environmental Sustainability Policy

The RCPAQAP aspires to minimise its impact on our environment and maximise the effective use of resources. We strive to achieve this by enhancing communication and awareness of our efforts in accordance with this policy and fostering responsible environmental behaviour among staff, volunteers, and participants at all levels.

The RCPAQAP is committed not only to complying with applicable law in all its operations, but to minimise risks and impacts through the development of robust and documented systems to implement, measure, monitor, and disseminate excellent environmental performance both within its operations and to the broader community.

Purpose

This Environmental Sustainability Policy aims to integrate a philosophy of sustainable development into all the RCPAQAP’s activities and to establish and promote sound environmental practice in our operations.
