At Numonyx, we are focused on the environment, health and safety. We believe that by working with our customers, partners, community members and employees, we can help to ensure a healthy world for future generations. To do so, we are guided by the following mission: “Provide the framework and the strategies to be a world-class company in Environment, Health and Safety.” The actions to achieve this mission are documented in our Global Environmental Health and Safety Policy.
Operational Excellence
Numonyx is committed to achieve environmental, health and safety excellence in its operations, services and products. We strive to preserve the environment and provide an injury-free workplace for our employees, contractors and the communities in which we do business. We believe that excellence in EHS is ethically the right thing to do and is good for our business. It is what our customers, employees and communities expect from us as a socially responsible corporation. We conduct business with integrity and comply with all applicable regulatory requirements as a minimum. We implement more stringent global standards, programs and processes to achieve greater protection, where needed.
Injury Free
We believe that all injuries can be prevented and seek a safe workplace, free of occupational injury and illness. We promote the health and well-being of our employees. We emphasize individual responsibility for safety and health by all employees and at all levels of management. We hold managers and supervisors responsible for leading, implementing and maintaining safety at their work areas. We expect employees to follow Numonyx safety procedures and regulatory requirements, and to report and contribute to solve potential safety hazard issues. We require contractors and visitors on our sites to adhere to the applicable procedures and requirements. We will not conduct any operations or market a product without adequate safeguards.
Sustainable Development
We strive to conserve natural resources and minimize usage of energy, raw materials and water. We reduce the environmental footprint of our factories through minimizing the use and release of hazardous materials to air, water and land, and implement reuse and recycling where feasible. We drive continuous improvement of existing processes and promote sustainable growth by assessing EHS impacts of all new activities and products ensuring upfront design for EHS.
Product Ecology
We design products with focus on safe operations throughout the entire life cycle avoiding environmentally sensitive material, reducing energy consumption and extending product life span.
Supply Chain
We are a responsible member of the communities in which we live and work. We cooperate with suppliers and contractors to identify and minimize EHS risks across the entire supply chain. We proactively share EHS knowledge with our employees, customers, the scientific community, government, industry and the communities in which we live and work.
Management System
We maintain an EHS management system to ensure that performance goals are set and monitored, programs are implemented and audited, and progress is periodically reviewed and communicated with stakeholders. This system functions to ensure that this policy is being followed.
