Environmental stewardship and the health and safety of our employees, contractors, and the communities where we operate are paramount to Teknor Apex’s corporate values of being accountable for our actions, acting with integrity, respecting our people and creating innovative solutions.
Our EHS responsibility exists in all aspects of our business - whether manufacturing, product development, customer service, sales or support. This policy is implemented globally and it serves to guide our daily actions.
Guided by our core values, all Teknor Apex employees follow these principles:
Compliance is the cornerstone of our EHS program.
We meet or exceed all applicable EHS regulations and company standards. Our employees, contractors, and suppliers have a responsibility to comply with all applicable EHS requirements. We follow established procedures and share best practices to create safe and compliant workplaces and environmentally responsible operations.
A culture focused on employee safety is fundamental to our success.
We encourage and empower our employees to identify, understand and mitigate safety concerns associated with the wide variety of tasks each employee performs. We promote an open culture that encourages our employees to report all potential risks and incidents. We also strive to contribute to the promotion of physical and mental well-being to help our employees live healthy, full and productive lives.
Environmental sustainability is our responsibility.
We are committed to operating responsibly, and we seek to reduce adverse environmental impacts from our operations, products and services. To manage our environmental risks, we pursue a path of continual improvement – investigating, assessing, understanding, and improving environmental aspects and impacts.
Integrating EHS is how we do business.
We use goal-setting and achievement as a driver of innovation and sustainable growth within all areas of our business. We measure progress using key performance indicators to transparently manage risks and drive continual improvement.
EHS performance is improved through meaningful employee engagement and dialogue.
We recognize and reward EHS performance because we believe engagement, diversity of thought, and active dialogue helps us learn, increases our transparency, and fosters trust among our employees, customers and communities.
