We recognise that good air quality is an important resource. We recognise also that our main product, gas, has had and will have an important role to play in helping to improve the air quality in many cities

The effective management of emissions from our own facilities is important in protecting our workforce and the local community and is an important factor in our long term commercial success in a locality.

The BG strategy builds upon existing practice and comprises the following elements:

• Ensuring that air quality impacts are systematically addressed in the planning of new developments
  

• Effective management of emissions from our operations through development and implementation of robust environmental management systems
  

• Reporting on the management of our own emissions and the environmental benefits that our delivery of gas brings, to promote internal and external recognition of BG's performance as well as some of the societal benefits of our business.
