Lion Nathan, a major Australasian drinks company is committed to protection of the environment and meeting the expectations of its people, customers, consumers and stakeholders. As part of our commitment to reduce the environmental impact of our products, materials and services, we will give preference to purchasing environmentally beneficial products and services that meet our performance, safety, regulatory, cost and customer/consumer requirements by:-

• Purchasing recyclable or reusable products and materials 
• Giving preference to suppliers that undertake product stewardship, for example, taking back materials and products for recycling or reconditioning at the end of their life
• Selecting goods and services with better environmental performance such as high energy efficiency, low pollutant emissions, or other low adverse impact throughout their lifecycle 
• Purchasing products which are made from ‘country of origin’ post-consumer recycled material content 
  Requiring our supplier to provide appropriate documentation to support any environmental claims made eg. recycled content, low emissions, energy efficient etc. 
• Striving to increase the recycled content of products and materials we purchase to help create sustainable end markets for recyclate 
• Requiring all ingredients we purchase to be non-genetically modified 
• Giving preference to suppliers who minimise their energy consumption and other adverse environmental impacts from their production & transport processes. This includes having in place environmental management systems compliant with AS/NZS ISO 14001:2004 and supporting greenhouse and product stewardship programs.
  
  This policy is endorsed by the Lion Nathan Board of Directors
