Halal Food Safety Environmental Policy

According to both the Kyoto Protocol and, more recently, the Paris Agreement, all nations signatory to the agreement are undertake measures to lower emissions, reduce global warming and by extension climate change. Halal Food Safety operations include vulnerable and harsh arid and semi arid regions within Africa where adverse climate changes severely affect both residents and their respective governments.
It is our duty to ensure that good environmental management is practiced in all contracts and projects that we are involved in, and we will seek to influence customers and suppliers to demonstrate a positive environmental commitment.
Halal Food Safety will therefore communicate its Environmental Policy to all employees, and it will
be freely available to customers, shareholders and the general public.
