Developing a Safety Culture and reducing risks
Bostik has developed rules and guidelines with the aim of eliminating
accidents or unsafe incidents. Monthly Process Safety audits determine
whether these rules have been implemented and followed, thus making
prevention an absolute priority.
All our employees participate in a
safety programme that seeks to improve their response to any potentially
risky situation and develop a proactive safety culture. Each employee
is expected to embrace safety in their daily routine.
We provide
training to our staff and contractors on risky situations and the need
to pay close attention to the warning signs of near-accidents. Each
accident is analysed in detail, followed by feedback discussed by all
employees at every plant.
Managing and reducing our environmental impact
All production sites strictly
and systematically control their energy consumption, wastewater
discharges and all types of gas and waste emissions.
Specific indicators enable Bostik to regularly verify its environmental, safety and quality performance.
This
voluntary process is supported by ISO 14001 certification standards, an
international benchmark in environmental management systems.
One of our priorities is to consider careful use of
raw materials from renewable sources. Agro-resources, such as starch,
cellulose and oleochimicals, can be used as alternatives to synthetic
chemical products, which allow us to minimise environmental impact.
Promoting responsible management for products
Bostik integrates health, safety and environmental criteria in the development of its products.
Bostik
applies the same degree of rigour to all production and transportation
stages in order to guarantee optimum conditions for the safe storage,
shipment and use of its products.
