Integrated Management System Policy

LANXESS Limited is fully committed to manufacturing and supplying sustainable high quality products and associated goods and services - in an injury-free, safe, secure, and responsible manner with minimum impact on the environment and minimal risk of pollution. In order to achieve this, the Company has implemented an Integrated Management System (IMS) that:

• Complies with all relevant LANXESS directives.
• Unites its third party certifications in Quality (ISO 9001), Environment (ISO 14001) and Health and Safety (BS OHSAS 18001).

 The objectives of the IMS are:

1) To provide a robust framework for the coordinated planning, implementation and review of the commitments and objectives set out in the Company's individual Polices for Quality, Health and Safety and Environmental issues.

2) To ensure that all relevant legal requirements as well as LANXESS Global requirements for certification to ISO 9001, OHSAS 18001 and ISO 14001are met.

3) To rationalise management systems documentation and the duplication of efforts and resources required to satisfy identified relevant common ISO and OHSAS standards elements (e.g. auditing, management review meetings, document control and record keeping).

The Company is totally committed to achieving these objectives through the continual improvement of its IMS, and by clearly identifying, controlling, monitoring and measuring the potential risk to our business.

The Company shall ensure that this Policy is understood by all staff and made freely available to all interested stakeholders. All Polices and Procedures relating to the IMS shall be published via the Company's intranet.

This Policy shall be reviewed on an annual basis, or whenever significant changes are made to the IMS. LANXESS Limited Branston’s annual objectives may be found in document IMS.1.011.
