Section 1.0(a) MANAGEMENT POLICY Issue 1

It is the established policy of Invensys Climate Controls Europe Ltd. to provide to all its customers services related to the manufacture and design of climate control products that are delivered without deviation from the company’s quality specification.

The quality specification represents the highest level of functional and safety requirements in all processing and servicing activities of Invensys Climate Controls Europe Ltd.

This policy involves all aspects of Invensys Climate Controls Europe Ltd. activities and its employees. On-going system review and evaluation ensures a policy of continuous improvement and this is measured and evaluated on a regular basis. All necessary action is taken following evaluation, and appropriate objectives and targets are set so as to maintain the standards associated with the Invensys brand name.

Environmentally the company is committed to best practicable environmental practice in all aspects of its' activities, and specifically to the prevention of pollution.

Continual improvement is central to the environmental philosophy of the Company as is compliance with legislative/regulatory requirements at both national and local levels.

A series of objectives and targets to reduce the environmental impact of those impacts evaluated as being significant have been documented. An appropriate management programme ensures that all practicable steps are taken to realise these objectives and targets. Impacts for which objectives and targets have been set include, waste, electricity and the future use of land.

Objectives and targets are monitored on an on-going basis (monitoring activities are recorded) and are formally reviewed at management review meetings.

The communication of information and education of suppliers and customers, where Company knowledge and experience permits, forms a highly important element of the Company's commitment to this environmental policy.

Communication activities extend to making this policy statement and performance details with reference to objectives and targets, publicly available on request.
