The HSEA (health, safety, environment and plant asset) risk management organization, headed by the Senior Vice President of Human Resources & Sustainability, is responsible for developing and implementing HSEA risk management strategies, setting corporate targets, and supporting business areas and sites.

The management of each business area, together with local site management, is responsible for compliance with local laws and regulations, the implementation of policies, and also for managing risks to which their unit is exposed.

In addition to the external audits done in conjunction with the management systems, internal assessments are conducted at all plants every three years. These are to ensure that policies, guidelines and standards regarding health, safety, environment and asset protection, are properly applied.

The aim is threefold: to support cross fertilization of best practices between the sites, to ensure that plants adhere to the requirements of managing their health, safety, environment and asset risk management issues, and to support the principle of continuous improvement.
