We are proud of the progress we’re making toward preventing injuries before they happen, encouraging our employees to form healthier habits, and reducing our company’s carbon footprint. Our employees embrace these priorities and incorporate our company’s environment, health, and safety requirements into their work every day. Putting Our Commitment Into Practice We have well-defined environmental, health, and safety management systems. In fact, we’ve received formal certification for these systems under the ISO 14001 Standard from the International Organization for Standardization. Plus, we undergo ongoing compliance audits by independent auditors to confirm we have comprehensive environment, health, and safety management protocols in place. We also host forums where environmental leaders can exchange ideas and share strategies for dealing with evolving challenges. It’s just one part of our ongoing efforts to provide support to environmental groups and educational organizations and build pilot projects that demonstrate technologies with potential environmental benefits.
