We supply products and services in a safe and sustainable manner because we firmly believe this is the right way to do business. This permanent commitment—fundamental to our culture—protects customers and employees while increasing shareholder value.
Our HSE and Security Policy Statement, which is inclusive of HSE and Security (HSE&S) factors, has the commitment of our executive management team and, is signed by our Chairman and CEO and the President and COO. We communicate and promote this policy to all employees in all our work locations.
Our HSE&S professionals partner with managers across all departments and every business segment to develop specific programs tailored to meet local needs aligned with corporate goals. This strategy enables HSE&S integration with the business, regardless of the product, service, project, or location through
- measurable goals promoting continual improvement toward zero incidents and the prevention of pollution
- line management accountability for HSE&S matters and the individual contribution of all employees
- recognition by all employees that, as a condition of employment, and contractors as a condition of working with us, safety and environmental protection are first and foremost, and they are responsible for their safety and the safety of those around them.
We minimize our environmental footprint, which includes conserving resources, such as energy and water, reducing waste and spills and increasing recycling.
We promote a culture where Stop Work Authority is exercised freely and is valued as a proactive process to control HSE&S risks and impacts. We integrate HSE&S and social considerations into our business decisions, plans, and operations and ensure the security of our employees and operations in our increasingly complex business.
