Policy of Environmentally Sound Management
It is A-1's policy that its operations and businesses will strictly adhere to all applicable laws and regulations concerning the protection of human health and the environment.
Platinum group metal products have a profound, positive impact upon the environment primarily through the elimination of automotive pollutants. Additionally, A-1's recycling activities act to conserve limited resources and further protect the environment by reducing the need for extractive mining.
A-1's commitment to environmental protection, with continuous improvement, is certified under ISO 14001-2004.
Recycling should be an integral part of the lifecycle of all materials, and because platinum group metals (PGMs) have a high value and are resistant to chemical attack, a significant proportion of them are in fact recycled, thereby conserving this precious resource.
