Oxea released its first Sustainability Report. It features extensive disclosure of Oxea’s fiscal year 2016 performance in governance and ethics, sustainability, health and safety in the workplace, environmental stewardship, and economic and social aspects. 2016 sustainability performance highlights include measures to use energy more efficiently, and excellence in safety, such as Oxea’s I-Safety Initiative, a “fight the risk” campaign.
 
“We understand our critical role as a chemicals producer, and we are committed to growing our business reliably and responsibly,” Oxea CEO Dr. Salim Al Huthaili said.
 
“At Oxea we see it as part of our corporate image that we will further look into technologies and process improvements to reduce energy consumption, achieve more resource-efficient operations, and minimize our environmental footprint,” EVP, Global Operations Dr. Oliver Borgmeier added.
 
Oxea has been awarded a Silver Award by the rating agency EcoVadis. Based on an assessment of the company’s activities in the area of sustainability, Oxea ranks among the top 15 percent of suppliers in all categories in 2016.
 
“Addressing today’s environmental challenges and making a significant contribution to sustainability are vital issues. Our report contains many examples of the high motivation of the people at Oxea and their sense of responsibility to perform better and better in the future,” said Christian Böhmer, director Corporate Programs.
 
Oxea’s report for the fiscal year 2016 has been prepared in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) G4 standard reporting guidelines.
