The Company is a signatory to the Chemical Industries Association 'Responsible Care' initiative and the site was included several times in the short list of contenders for the Responsible Care Award over the last years. Through membership of this Industry Association we play an active role in sharing and promoting best practices across the chemical industry. Our commitment as a socially responsible company means that we operate our facilities in a manner that protects people and the environment and preserves our world for future generations. LyondellBasell is committed to continuous improvement in safety, security, environmental performance, reliability and open communications.
Environmental Performance
Early in 2000, the site obtained certification to ISO 14001 for environmental management systems. Our site has provided practical support to an adjacent nature reserve.
Safety
Our site operates to the highest standards of modern design with safety and environmental protection being given a high priority. Over the last years our site has achieved its lowest ever total recordable injury rates and some years ago site employees and contractors worked for the entire year injury-free. Just a few years ago, our site was recognized by the UK Chemical Industries Association with its Diamond Award for our consistently high level of safety performance demonstrated over the past decade.
