FOCUSED ON A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE

An important part of our mission is to minimize the environmental impact of our business operations. At the same time, we are committed to maintaining and enhancing the wellbeing of our employees.

Our Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) performance goal is one of continuous improvement. Each year we work to improve workplace safety and the health of our employees and to lessen our impact on the environment. We measure our progress across our business units against global operational policies and standards. We also encourage our business units to reinforce our goals by developing programs tailored to their culture and work environment.

We remain focused on achieving our ultimate vision of zero injuries and zero adverse environmental impact.
