ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY

Northex Environnement’s field of expertise is the environment. Our soil decontamination and beneficiation operations contribute to ensuring a sustainable environment for present and future generations. The company has a soil treatment plant capable of restoring soils contaminated with organic and mixed (organic and inorganic) pollutants. Our beneficiation processes give new life to previously contaminated soils, allowing them to be put back to work.

In keeping with its mission, Northex Environnement takes all action deemed necessary to preserve the environment and undertakes the following:

to comply with all environmental legislation (laws and regulations) to which it is subject;
to find ways of improving existing methods and explore new processes and procedures with a view to enhancing the overall effectiveness of its soil remediation operations;
to establish and maintain objectives and targets that take into account significant environmental impacts;
to eliminate or reduce hazardous and harmful air, water and soil emissions;
to promote the reuse, recycling and recovery of resources at its disposal;
to monitor environmental programs and ensure that corporate management systems meet the highest quality standards;
to prevent, identify, assess and manage environmental risks;
to develop and keep current emergency response plans in the interests of protecting the environment, workers and the general public;
to encourage dialogue with our employees and the public and respond to their environmental concerns;
to ensure that our employees appreciate and assume their environmental protection responsibilities;
to conduct annual environmental audits of all Northex Environnement operations in accordance with corporate policies, standards and procedures;
to ensure that our employees are familiar with this policy and make it available to the public.

This policy reflects firm commitments on the part of Northex Environnement to continually improve its performance as a valuable contributor to environmental sustainability, and to review its policy and commitments as its operations evolve.
