Fostering a Safe Workplace

Occupational health and safety is our primary objective at all of our facilities. We continually strive to ensure safe working conditions, equipment and work sites. The cornerstone of our approach rests on employee involvement and accountability in identifying, preventing and eliminating dangerous conditions and risks of injury or illness. We believe that close co-operation among management, employees and union representatives is essential to improving our performance. We will conduct independent audits to verify compliance, reduce risk, and continually improve on established health and safety management systems.

Environmentall Sound Operations

We conduct our activities in a manner that conserves resources. We strive to continually reduce the environmental footprint of our operations by consuming less, emitting less and generating less waste per unit of product output. We identify, evaluate and control potential environmental risks and ensure that all of our facilities have effective contingency plans.

In the Marketplace

We seek to meet and anticipate the ever-changing needs of our customers. We gather and analyze information on market trends and consumption behavior, as well as monitor possible forms of product substitution or replacement. This data allows us to establish specific yearly objectives regarding the development of our new products and services. We are also committed to fostering a marketplace that values products that meet the standards of leading environmental groups.
