Process safety and wellbeing on one side; water, waste, emissions to air and local biodiversity on the other. Both measured at site level, because that is where they occur.
Handling hazardous chemistry safely is the licence to operate everything else. Our sites run under Responsible Care principles with ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 certification, and process-safety events are reported and reviewed with the same seriousness as injuries, whether or not anyone was hurt.
The planet half of this pillar is deliberately local. Water withdrawal, effluent quality, emissions to air, waste routing and the condition of the land around a terminal are site-level facts, and they are managed by site-level plans with named owners rather than a group average that hides the outliers.
The people half runs wider than safety: fair pay, training hours, an inclusive hiring process and a functioning grievance channel. A distributor is a people business dressed as a logistics business.
Hazard studies before commissioning, permit-to-work discipline, containment and secondary containment on every tank, and near-miss reporting treated as data rather than blame.
Occupational health surveillance for exposed roles, mental-health provision, structured training hours per employee, and inclusive hiring measured rather than asserted.
Blending and cleaning are the water-intensive steps. We meter them, recycle rinse water where product compatibility allows, and treat effluent to permit before discharge.
Segregation at source, recovery over disposal, and licensed routing for everything hazardous, with a running target on landfill diversion rather than a one-off audit.
Every terminal maintains an emergency plan agreed with local services, and we run joint exercises rather than filing the plan and hoping.
Hazard studies, containment design and competence checks before a line runs.
Metering, monitoring and near-miss reporting that surfaces problems while they are small.
Site emergency plans rehearsed with local services and a defined escalation path.
Root-cause review shared across all sites, not just the one where it happened.
A product carbon footprint, a supplier audit status, a substitution study, or a completed customer ESG questionnaire. We answer within two working days and name the person handling it.
