Protecting people and advancing stewardship

Protecting people and advancing stewardship

Safety is critical across our business, particularly at our manufacturing sites, where more than 75 per cent of our employees work. Our number one priority is ensuring every team member gets home safely every day.

We take a unified approach to employee and contractor safety. Contractors are responsible for more than 50 per cent of total worked hours due to their role in turnarounds, large capital projects and ongoing activities. Our goal to be a zero-harm workplace is only achievable with their active participation. Through employee and contractor engagement, maintaining a focus on hazardous and critical activities and focusing on occupational and industrial hygiene, we work to uphold high safety standards across all our worksites.

Process safety

Process safety is essential to protecting people, communities, and the environment. We manage process‑related hazards through a combination of safe plant design, asset integrity, competency assurance, and continuous improvement.

Our approach includes robust incident reporting and investigation, targeted process safety campaigns, and emergency preparedness plans to ensure we can respond effectively to unexpected events. These practices help prevent incidents and support safe, reliable operations.

Our focus on strong hazard prevention practices and leadership-led incident reviews has helped us achieve zero process safety events in the past two years.

Product stewardship

Product stewardship means managing health, safety, and environmental risks throughout the lifecycle of our products. This includes the safe handling, storage, and transportation of methanol and ammonia across our operations and supply chain.

We promote product safety through training, guidance, and engagement with customers, distributors, and logistics partners worldwide. By sharing best practices and supporting safe handling and emergency preparedness, we help protect people, communities, and the environment.

 

Building local emergency response capacity

We regularly collaborate with local communities on emergency response to strengthen local response capabilities in the event of an emergency at one of our sites or in the community.

In October 2025, we sponsored a joint two-day Transportation Community Awareness and Emergency Response (TRANSCAER) event and Methanol Safe Handling Seminar with Medicine Hat. With 32 individuals from 11 organizations attending, and presentations and discussions from the railway, local highway cargo tanker companies, and local emergency responders, the event strengthened local emergency response capacity through hands-on training and sharing of best practices and lessons learned.
