We are committed to protecting the environment, as a manifestation and awareness of our mission to be a good corporate citizen in the community.

We aim to be a recognised leader in the packaging and safety industries, practising environment-friendly processes through technology improvements and adopting an environmental management system that pursues environmental protection for sustainable development.

We affirm our commitment to continual improvement in our environmental performance, prevention of pollution in our operations and compliance with legal requirements. This commitment shall include, but is not limited to emissions to air, releases to water, generation and disposal of solid waste, contamination of land, use of water, fuel, electricity and prevention or controlling their impacts to environment.

We shall communicate our Environmental Policy to all employees and our partners in the community, to make them aware of our commitments, objectives, targets and performance.

We shall actively promote products and practices that will assist our customers in their own objectives to manage their use of Packaging and its impact on the environment.

SNELL Packaging & Safety actively supports and is a member of the New Zealand Packaging Councils Packaging Accord and strives to achieve its objectives.

The New Zealand Packaging Accord is a voluntary initiative to cut down on wasteful packaging. Those signing it - the packaging and packaged goods industry, local and central government and the recycling operators - are voluntarily committing to doing what they can to reduce the proportion of packaging in our total waste stream.
