Global Environmental Policy
Reuters as a leader in the provision of business information and related systems, recognises its corporate obligations to; and the commercial sense of, a sound environmental management policy for the benefit of all its stakeholders.
Reuters acknowledges that, however marginal the direct and indirect impact of our business activities might be on the environment, there is the need constantly to consider ways and means of conserving energy and minimising all waste and pollution in our business processes.
In addition to complying therefore with all relevant legislation and regulations, Reuters undertakes to take positive measures where appropriate to achieve standards of environmental management that reflect its corporate commitment.
Reuters aims to reduce the company’s environmental impact in the following key areas through a sustained measured programme, focused on best practices.
- 1. Suppliers

- 2. Energy efficiency
To manage electricity, gas and water supplies with a view to reducing our impact on the environment.
- 3. Waste Management
To endeavour to minimise waste production wherever possible, utilising environmentally friendly and economical disposal methods.
- 4. Recycling and use of recycled material
To utilise and to promote the use of recycled materials wherever practicable, ensuring that materials are also disposed of in an environmentally safe manner at the end of their useful life.
- 5. Environmental management awareness
Whenever reasonably practicable, to raise and maintain a high level of understanding of and participation in, environmental best practices by staff and suppliers in conducting Reuters business. (1)
