 During
2002 we developed a strategic approach to environment, health and
safety to be published early in 2003 as The EHS Plan for Excellence.
The Plan for Excellence shows how GlaxoSmithKline's environment,
health and safety framework aligns with the company's vision, strategic
intent and key business drivers. It shows how GlaxoSmithKline will
progress through management systems to leadership and excellence.
In the Plan for Excellence we enunciate our long-term aspirations
for environment, health and safety. Though we recognise that it
may be difficult to deliver these aspirations quickly, they will
guide the global organisation through the implementation of EHS
management systems to leadership and towards sustainability during
the period of 2002 through 2010.
To help focus global EHS efforts on key strategic issues and draw
attention to a progressive evolution from managing our key risks
to advancing our sustainability, the plan calls for a yearly theme
to be set. We have projected themes for the years until 2010, but
these recommendations will adjust year by year to take into account
current business circumstances, long-term business direction and
emerging issues.
