• strong commitment
• clear accountability
• safety-focused leadership.

The Group’s safety policy, formalised in 2000, includes the guidelines to achieve the “Zero Accidents” target. The aim is creating a common safety culture across different subsidiaries, geographical areas and business sectors. This approach is applicable to all activities and all those directly or indirectly involved in the Group’s operations.

The safety management model is established at country, business and plant level starting from the principles of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) on safety management.
It is centred on safety coordinators at country level and safety animators at site level. Safety management committees meet regularly (at least monthly) to ensure the correct implementation of local safety action plans.

Focused training and auditing programmes are fundamental to achieving the target of prevention.

Training activities cover employees, contractors and third parties.

A dedicated task force involving the Group’s Technical Centre is addressing safety management during the construction of new greenfield plants and major revamping projects. All the safety operational indicators are updated monthly in the Group’s safety database.
