We have the results to prove it, too. Since the implementation of our Zero Harm culture, we have reported measurable improvements in both safety and financial results year over year. And because we know a proactive approach is the only way to operate successfully in a dynamic environment, a Zero Harm foundation is the driving force behind our every action.
Keeping our people safe is crucial to the success of our business—but it doesn't end there. Our Zero Harm culture and commitment are key to upholding our responsibility to the environment and the communities in which we live and operate. We owe it to ourselves, our families, and our world to do all we can to Protect What Matters and Preserve the Future.
