Protecting the Environment
Our Commitment
We strive to be a reliable and sustainable supply chain partner by demonstrating exceptional environmental stewardship in the communities where we operate. We must comply with all applicable environmental laws and regulations wherever we do business. We also minimize the impact of our operations on the environment by being more efficient and sustainable. We have set clear goals for reducing our carbon footprint, reducing our water consumption and minimizing waste.
How We Act with Integrity
- Handle materials in a safe, compliant manner.
- Vigorously investigate environmental concerns and correct systemic root causes.
- Seek opportunities to reduce natural resource use and minimize waste.
- Make prompt and accurate responses to appropriate information requests from governmental agencies.
- Report potential violations of any environmental permit, law or policy right away. Contact the EHS site manager, plant manager, regional or Corporate EHS, or a member of the Law Department with any questions.
- Allow inaccuracies or incomplete information on environmental forms, disclosures or permits.
- Look the other way if you suspect any environmental concern.
Integrity in Action
The instructions I received for logging environmental permit entries results in numbers I believe are misleading because they don’t reflect the whole picture. I don’t want to create a misleading report. What should I do?
Talk with your supervisor or manager, site EHS, or Corporate EHS. It is critical that our data reports are accurate. Your manager or site EHS leader should be able to explain the reporting method. If you still have a concern after that discussion, contact Corporate EHS, the Law Department or the SafeTalk Helpline.
