In providing this service, Capitec Limited consumes resources and produces waste material, which will in turn have an effect on the environment, and ultimately may impact on the health of our staff and the people to whom Capitec Limited provides a service to. 

The Company Board therefore acknowledges that they have a responsibility to consider the environmental implications of its corporate business strategy and to support policies and practices that will provide a responsible approach to the environmental management of the business.

As a measure of its commitment to the environment, Capitec Limited will:

  • commit to complying with all relevant environmental legislation and other business requirements such as Codes of Practice and Customer Specifications;
  • make the commitment to comply with the requirements of the Capitec Limited EQMS Manual and accordingly BS EN ISO 14001:2015;
  • maintain effective environmental management, adopting best practice where possible, and striving to continually improve Capitec Limited environmental performance;
  • educate, train and motivate employees to understand and undertake their role in preventing, controlling and reducing the Capitec Limited environmental impact;
  • reduce the amount of natural resources used, consistent with good practice, by conserving energy, paper, water, and other materials, and by re-using and re-cycling waste material wherever it is appropriate to do so;
  • encourage our Clients to undertake an environmental impact assessment of new developments, and to adopt a life cycle approach by seeking to balance capital costs and long term running costs;
  • commit to prevent pollution where ever possible;
  • for new processes, consider environmental and safety implications before implementation;
  • ensure that where possible suppliers of goods and services to Capitec Limited, demonstrate an acceptable standard of environmental performance;
  • consider environmental costs in resourcing, purchasing, transport and distribution decisions;
  • promote awareness of environmental issues both within and outside the Company.
