Environment

Walker’s environmental policy is regularly updated as we strive to deliver on our organization’s commitment to improve its environmental performance. Walker’s environmental policy is an integral part of our business policies that apply to all parts of the organization and is strategic in that the policy is also directed towards our activities and services. The three foundations of our environmental policy include but are not limited to a) continual improvement in environmental performance, b) prevention of pollution and c) compliance with legal and other requirements.
