We continually strive to meet and exceed strict safety, health and environmental performance targets and are committed to continuous improvement in all aspects of our operations. Excellence in safety, health and environmental performance is our top priority and we are open and honest about such performance, which we publish locally and nationally, as required.

INEOS operates to strict regulations that are set by the national environment agencies of the countries in which we operate. We are committed to ensuring that our facilities have as low an impact as possible on local people and the environment and we continue to work in close partnership with community groups and other stakeholders to ensure that we are a responsible neighbour.

We aim to meet or exceed all relevant legislative requirements while minimizing the effect of our operations on the environment. We continually strive towards a goal of 'zero injuries' through our positive safety culture and the belief that all accidents are preventable.

We care...

• About the safety, security, and health of our workforce, customers, suppliers and neighbours,
• About the environment, today and tomorrow,
• About compliance with the law,
• About developing a workforce of SHE champions

We hold ourselves and one another accountable for SHE performance.
