Operations Safety and environmental management

Ensuring the health and safety of the people working for Orion is of the utmost importance to us. Our operational safety activities aim to reduce or eliminate EHS-related risks, prevent work-related injuries and illnesses and mitigate the consequences of any unwanted events to people and the environment. We foster a proactive safety culture and empower our employees with the knowledge and skills needed to perform their tasks safely. 

We protect the environment by applying sustainable practices that minimize our ecological footprint. We work diligently to conserve resources and reduce waste, decrease and mitigate negative impacts to air, water, and soil and minimise our climate impact. Our operations adhere to strict environmental management protocols to meet our environmental obligations. 

Continual improvement in EHS

The Orion Group EHS principles cover all our operations from research and development to business operations and the entire supply chain, including purchasing, manufacturing and distribution. The EHS principles on leadership, safety management, environmental management and continual improvement are the fundamental pillars for safe and environmentally responsible operations.

Through measurable objectives and targets, we track our progress and strive for excellence in EHS performance. We actively engage with employees, suppliers and stakeholders to gather feedback and identify opportunities for improvement.
