Summary of the SHE Policy
|
|
Management and Responsibility - We actively manage SHE as an integral part of our businesses, operations and practices.
We require regional and local management to comply with the applicable laws and the internal and external SHE requirements.
Security measures must be integrated into the SHE management system and must meet defined minimal requirements. |
Environment and People - We strive to minimize the environmental impact of our operations and business practices.
We will maintain a safe workplace environment for our employees and provide appropriate information and training. |
| Continual Improvement - We monitor our SHE performance and measure the progress by specific indicators. We promote actions to increase the ecoefficiency of our investments. |
Control and Auditing - We operate only processes, apply technologies and develop and handle products, which are assessed for their SHE risks.
All raw materials, intermediates and products are assessed for their regulatory compliance.
We have emergency procedures in place and emergency response organizations at all our sites to control and to limit the impact of incidents and threats.
We periodically audit our operations as well as business and management practices at all our sites with regard to SHE performance and compliance. |
| Security - Security measures must be integrated into the SHE management system and must meet defined minimal requirements. Site security is managed by the local site management and may involve third-party contracted organizations. It is of utmost importance, that the logistics security of material supply and product shipping and warehousing gets the required attention. Lonza engages in C-TPAT procedures to comply with security requirements. |
