CSME Consortium was founded on the basic tenet of environment sustainability and improvement. Wherever of the anthropological impact on the environment. Whether it is by promoting and advising on best management practices for recycling waste, reducing landfill or more efficient use of fertilizer in agriculture and horticulture. CSME recognizes the limited resources provided by the environment and promotes, through education and advice. A more practical and pragmatic approach to encourage sustainable use of all-natural resources.

It is our policy to devise company practices and procedures that minimize waste, reduce consumption, recycle and protect the environment in every facet of our operation and actively seek continual improvement in environment performance and participate in appropriate initiatives as and when we are able. We will ensure that all members of staff are aware of their responsibility towards the environment and encourage them to participate in the improvement of our environmental practices. At a minimum, it is expected that the operations of the company will not harm the environment, but we are committed to finding new ways of improving it.
