Group health and safety policy
Bunzl is committed to a programme of activities to achieve continuous improvement in health and safety performance. Whilst compliance with legal obligations in the various jurisdictions in which we operate is our minimum commitment, we also seek to identify and share best practice across our businesses.
Each Business Area is responsible for identifying health and safety risks associated with its activities and for developing, implementing and maintaining management systems and working practices to improve our safety performance. Business Area Heads are responsible for establishing safety objectives and monitoring safety performance within their own Business Areas. This will include auditing with an associated programme of risk improvements.

The Director, Group Human Resources is responsible for the Group health and safety policy and overall monitoring of health and safety issues, reporting to the Chief Executive and to the Board at least annually.
