Ensuring the health and safety of those around us.

Aiming to ensure the safety of our employees, business partners and communities is at the core of everything we do.

We continuously strive to undertake our business activities with absolutely no accidents, no harm to people, and no harm to the environment. We target zero incidents, zero accidents and zero spills. We are committed to reducing the environmental impact of our business, including the greenhouse gas footprint of our operations.

In endeavoring to achieve this aspiration, each of our three management companies has developed and implemented a Health, Safety, Security, Quality, Energy and Environmental Management Policy based on our longstanding experience and industry best practice.

How we create a safe working environment

We operate our Safety, Security, Quality, Energy and Environmental Management Systems according to the following principles:

• Every single employee, at every level, is bound by the respective Health, Safety, Security, Quality, Energy and Environmental Management Policy.
• We recognize and acknowledge the importance of the human element to our safety performance, and are committed to continuously improving our safety culture.
