Safety: our priority no. 1

Nothing takes priority over safety. Safety is essential in any decision-making and strategy development. It is our responsibility to support the individual health and well-being of our employees, while taking the necessary and appropriate measures to help ensure everyone leaves the workplace as they entered it. We also fully recognize our responsibility for minimizing environmental impacts and safeguard the health of people.

We have management systems in place to help ensure the safety of our plants and processes to avoid harm to human health and the environment.

Our safety regulations

Safety for us is not about rules, it is about people. We care about each other, especially when faced with unforeseen challenges such as the Covid-19 pandemic.
