 | Environmental protection safety and health protection is one of our most important objectives and integral to the way we conduct our business. We believe this is essential for the sustainable development, competitiveness and long-term success of our business. Customers, communities and employees expect this, as do our shareholders.
We regard local laws and ordinances as minimum requirements, which are binding worldwide. Wherever necessary, our contribution to safety, health and environmental protection exceed these requirements.
With each new product or development, we make every effort to avoid waste at source and build in inherent safety. We are committed to continuous improvement of our processes and operations with the objectives of reducing risk, increasing efficiency and minimising environmental impact. After all, only processes and operations that are safe, efficient and minimise environmental impact have economic advantages in the long term. Regular environmental and safety reviews or audits by in house specialists, accreditation bodies and regulatory authorities support this ongoing process of improvement.
Product safety is also a key consideration for employees, communities and customers as many of our products have hazardous properties if incorrectly used or handled. As such our specialists provide information and technical support on safe handling and use of our products in addition to supporting our own and our customer’s complex requirements involved in manufacturing new substances and actives.
