Our Management Systems protect the environment by minimization or prevention of the environmental impact of our products through proper design, manufacturing, distribution, use, recycling and disposal.

We actively promote and implement the initiatives of the Responsible Care® program of the chemical industry and the Coatings Care® program of the paint and coatings industry. A comprehensive safety training program is in place that deals with critical topics such as hazard communication, personal protective equipment usage, respiratory protection, fire prevention, emergency response, first aid and forklift safety.

Recycling practices are in place everywhere they can be used. In our state-of the-art production facility, we continually lower our targets for non-reusable waste materials.

Thermal incineration now captures over 99% of all VOC's generated throughout the facility.

So, as you can see, Health, Safety and Environment truly are a large part of our everyday lives at Akzo Nobel.
