Watco Environmental Management System Through the use of our Environmental Management System (EMS), Watco is committed to conducting business practices in an environmentally sound and compliant manner. Environmental performance is a responsibility that is shared by each team member throughout all levels of the organization. The Watco environmental team provides support for the implementation and improvement of the EMS. It is the duty of individual Watco team members to understand their role within the EMS and to be active participants in the implementation of individual environmental programs applicable to their operations. Watco’s policy regarding the protection of the environment is to: • Adhere to applicable laws, regulations, and recognized industry standards; • Establish minimum environmental standards applicable to all operations; • Provide appropriate knowledge, skills, tools and mentoring to team members so they are able to work in an environmentally sound manner and minimize releases to the land, air, or water; • Promote continuous improvement of the EMS, thereby enhancing environmental performance; • Monitor and evaluate opportunities to reduce waste streams, greenhouse gases, energy usage, water usage, and potential non-compliance; and • Lead our peers in the transportation industry in environmental stewardship.
