Megachem Limited Annual Report 2015 66 COMPANY ENVIRONMENT SOCIETY For Megachem, sustainability means aligning economic success with environmental and social responsibility. We recognize that the environmental and social interaction with our community affect our long term organizational success and thus the need to manage not only corporate and financial performance but also the environmental and social impact of our business. As a guiding principle, our Megachem Sustainability Vision seeks to • achieve high standards of health and safety throughout our value chain, • protect our environment, • be a preferred employer by providing a working environment where people can feel a sense of belonging, • adopt best business practices and comply with all rules and regulations, • manage our risk to safeguard our economic sustainability; and • be a responsible member of society. > HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT We take pride in our commitment to maintain high level of health, safety and environmental protection (“HSE”) standards. They are the foundations of trust that our people, customers and vendors place in us. We therefore aim to achieve uncompromised level of HSE standards in our plants, products and processes. Our plants are built to meet stringent regulatory requirements in relation to HSE and our processes are designed with features to reduce HSE risk. Our goal is to operate the plant safely with no leaks or incidents that may cause serious injury to our employees, contractors or neighbors. We routinely prepare and practice our emergency response to potential incidents such as chemical spill or a fire. This involves working closely with the Singapore Civil Defence Force to jointly test our emergency response plans and procedures. The joint exercises continually improve our readiness to respond. If an incident does occur, we have procedures in place to mitigate the risk and reduce the impact on people and the environment. We work continually to ensure that our products pose no risk to people or the environment when they are used responsibly and in the manner intended. Material Safety and Data Sheets detailing HSE measures are available for all products that we handle. Another way in which Megachem contributes to international chemical safety is through our support of the United Nations’ initiative to implement a Globally Harmonized System (GHS) of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals. It is currently implemented across the Group. MEGACHEM SUSTAINABILITY VISIOn Emergency Response Exercise Sustainability
