Safety Health & Environmental Policy
Cabot is a global leader in Safety, Health and Environmental performance (SH&E). We are committed to integrating SH&E excellence into our business activities to ensure the safety of our employees, contractors, visitors, the communities we operate in, and the environment. SH&E excellence is a core value of Cabot and we will meet or exceed all applicable SH&E laws and regulations. We will operate our facilities in a manner consistent with those laws and regulations, and urgently respond to any emergency situation that may originate from our operations. We are committed to continuously improving our SH&E performance and will not be satisfied until we reach our goal of zero injuries and zero environmental non-conformances.
The following principles will guide us in our journey to zero.
- Cabot will design and operate our facilities and operations with process safety in mind in order to prevent events that could have an adverse impact on people, property and the environment.
- Cabot will provide each employee with the skills, knowledge and tools that will enable them to be accountable for performing their work in a safe and environmentally responsible manner.
- Cabot will empower all employees, contractors and visitors to proactively engage in promoting safe work practices and addressing unsafe behaviors and conditions before they result in an injury or environmental incident.
- Cabot will seek partnerships with contractors and suppliers who believe, as we do, that accidents are preventable and that promoting safe work behaviors and ensuring environmental compliance is critical to achieving SH&E excellence.
- Cabot is committed to energy efficiency, minimizing waste from operations, and preventing pollution.
- Cabot will seek partnerships with suppliers and customers to understand, assess and monitor the life cycle effects of our products.
- We will provide our distributors, transporters and customers with complete and accurate information regarding the safe use, handling and transportation of our products.
- We will periodically review and report on our SH&E performance externally while constantly challenging ourselves to do better.
- We will communicate and engage with employees, regulators, the communities in which we operate, neighbors, customers and investors on our SH&E performance.
- We will put into place sufficient and appropriate global standards and resources to ensure we can achieve these goals.
We will not consider Cabot to be a successful company unless the principles of this Policy are followed and respected.
