Our Commitment to Safety, Health and Environment
This Safety, Health and Environmental Progress Report is our
first effort to share with the public our progress in improving safety
and protecting the environment at our locations around the world.
Koppers faces an ongoing challenge in advancing safety
and environmental issues while manufacturing chemicals and treating wood.
Given the nature of these products, our industry must follow a great
many regulations to comply with today’s clean air and clean water
standards and the needs of our communities.
There are many people interested in how Koppers addresses
SH&E concerns: customers, employees, stockholders, government agencies,
environmental organizations and community residents. We have developed
this report to help you understand the multitude of challenges we must
meet to reach our goals and to share our progress in meeting them. This
comprehensive report on our activities over the past year explains how
Koppers:
- Recognizes and values environmental innovation and safe work practices,
- Involves the community in our operations,
- Encourages civic service and environmental participation, and
- Promotes healthy lifestyles among our workers.
Working with environmental regulations and safety requirements,
Koppers has historically been able to achieve its strategic objectives
of risk reduction, productivity improvement, customer satisfaction and
growth. We will continue to operate in this manner, for we believe that
the priority we have for SH&E excellence will bring prosperity to
our communities, employees and shareholders.
