The health and safety of our people, our customers and the planet is paramount. Running a safe, profitable and socially responsible business that drives innovation, enhances well-being and contributes positively to the environments in which we operate is non-negotiable. This sustainable approach underpins and supports all core operations and means we will protect your long-term interests, act responsibly and manage risks effectively to minimize our impact on the environment.
This is why we have set our goal on Perfect Days. A Perfect Day is one in which all employees return home safely and the environment remains unharmed. Our goal is to have a Perfect Day every day. This is supported by ENERGISE, our safety hallmark, which provides the training, tools, and support to give every member of our family a strong foundation in and understanding of our safety culture.
This unfaltering commitment to QHSE drives our culture of honesty and transparency and results in a happier workplace where our colleagues feel safe, valued and stimulated. It’s in our DNA to protect people from harm and reduce our impact on the environment… simply because it’s the right thing to do. It also happens to be good for business.
