We have adopted environmental policies that provide specific environmental guidance for employees. These policies address topics including air emissions; environmental assessment; hazardous materials; and waste, wastewater and storm water management.
Additionally, we are working to minimize the impact of our business by supporting Altria Group's focus areas of:
- reducing energy use;
- reducing Scope 1 and Scope 2 Greenhouse Gas emissions;
- water usage;
- recycling or beneficially reusing facility waste; and
- packaging material.
We are managing our business against the following 2013 goal targets for Altria's tobacco operating companies:
- reduce energy use by 7.5 percent;
- reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions by 7.5 percent;
- reduce Water use by 15 percent; and
- achieve 95 percent recycle rate from our facilities and five percent waste to landfill.
