4Frontiers Corporation is committed to achieving high standards of environmental quality and safety. This includes providing a safe and healthful workplace for our employees, contractors and communities. The company will comply with all applicable regulatory requirements as a minimum, and strive to achieve greater protection where appropriate. We will work to develop responsible laws, regulations and innovative programs that provide safeguards for the community, the workplace and the environment while providing flexibility to meet the needs of our business.

We seek a healthful and safe workplace, free of occupational injury and illness. We emphasize individual responsibility for safety by all employees including all levels of management.  We expect employees to report potential safety hazards, and be involved in implementing solutions. We will not conduct operations or market a product without adequate safeguards.

We strive to conserve natural resources and reduce the environmental burden of waste generation and emissions to the air, water and land.  Through continuous improvement methodologies, we will work to achieve sustainable products, buildings, and manufacturing processes. We will strive to be leaders in reducing, reusing and recycling, and we expect our employees to implement measures to properly dispose of any wastes in a safe and environmentally sound manner.

We will be responsible members of the communities, in which we live and work. We will continue to expand our knowledge and understanding of the effect of our operations on safety, health and the environment. We are committed both to continuous improvement in our operations and to sharing the knowledge that we gain with our employees, customers, suppliers, contractors, the communities in which we live and work, the scientific community, government, and industry.

Planetary Protection Policy
4Frontiers Corporation
March 4, 2006

We at 4Frontiers believe that the dream of settling Mars and the rest of the inner solar system can be achieved while adhering to high standards of planetary and environmental protection for all bodies. We are committed to protect the settlers, Mars, and the Earth throughout each stage of development.

We will adhere to the spirit of the planetary protection policy and criteria for minimizing cross contamination of planetary bodies with chemical and biological material as set forth by the International Council of Scientific Unions' Committee on Space Research (COSPAR).  We look forward to constructive collaboration with all interested parties in the scientific, technical and engineering communities to develop workable solutions to the challenge of creating permanently inhabited settlements on Mars and other solar system destinations that respect the new home for humanity and do not compromise our chance of finding clues to the deepest questions that are beckoning some of us into space in the first place.
 
In its very nature, any permanent settlement in space will achieve orders of magnitude higher efficiency in the use of many limited resources than current terrestrial norms. The lessons learned and technologies developed from learning to live on Mars will be tremendously helpful in teaching us how to protect and survive in an increasingly crowded terrestrial biosphere. This endeavor will be extremely valuable in providing inspiration and many answers for how to use resources more efficiently and how to share them appropriately here on Earth.
