Environmental issues are an integral part of our HSSE management system. Our policy on HSSE stipulates that we use energy and raw materials efficiently, avoid environmental pollution, and promote environmental awareness among our employees so as to minimize harmful influences. For many years now, we have been recording the frequency of product releases and their volume, the amount of energy and water used and the waste produced at our sites and have established corresponding KPIs that enable us to better identify and evaluate our development.
High Standard and Efficient Risk Management
One of the greatest challenges as we pursue our strategy of controlled, long-term growth is to limit the manifold financial, operational and HSSE risks. That is why we work based on a permanent and thorough risk management scheme that individually rates all risks and defines tailor-made mandates, tasks, and responsibilities. To further ensure a healthy mix of risk, all risks – including social and environmental ones – are evaluated in the context of the entire group of companies.
We take a decentralized approach whereby risks are broken out to the individual companies and responsibility is assigned at operating unit level. The principal risks that may affect future business performance include: Currency fluctuation Another international financial crisis flare-up and/or sustained economic downturn Political conflict in oil-producing countries and the resultant tensions on the oil markets Rising prices for natural resources and purchased energy Environmental and natural disasters as well as effects of the climate change Higher risks in countries we are active in Global pandemic, such as the global outbreak of COVID-19.
