ABSTRACT
Cable & Wireless is one of the world’s leading international telecommunications groups, with operations in over fifty countries on five continents. Cable & Wireless provides more than 120 different services in all of the telecommunications sectors, from basic voice to mobile communications, and advanced value-added services through a number of telecommunications networks. While the job is by no means complete, the basic policies, plans and processes are now in place to enable Cable & Wireless’s constituent businesses to start to tackle what is for some a new and increasingly important part of their management task. The Cable & Wireless environment policy includes a vision statement, eight objectives, and sections on policy application and implementation. The two central themes of the revised policy are the integration of environmental management into the business process and continual improvement of environmental performance.
