Health & Safety
Looking Out for Each Other
We are more focused on it than ever, committed to protecting our people, our communities, and our environment.
Exemplary Health and Safety results are achieved by choice, not chance. Safety is our choice. Our people are our most precious asset and we recognize their value.
- Our business plan is based above all on an unwavering
commitment to safety - We strive to constantly learn and never miss an
opportunity to do things better - We have launched a new Health, Safety and Environment
system – a “formal way” to make safety part of our day-to-
day operations across the LOGISTEC network from
our people working on the waterfront to our
environmental team on the ground
- We have a hands-on leadership style at LOGISTEC. We
love to put in the extra effort to learn alongside our
people, roll up our sleeves and take on tasks, and see
what’s working and what’s not at every level of our
organization. - We will continue to develop concrete actions and
effective tools. - We are engaging our people on the ground. We encourage
them to participate in open communication across and
between all levels of the organization to improve HSE.
Environment
We are ever mindful of our impact on the environment around us. We are focused on implementing changes — both big and small — that protect this most valuable resource. Our people actively participate in efforts to conserve our natural resources. We focus our environmental sustainability work in two key areas where we believe we can have the greatest positive impact – water conservation and energy efficiency.
