Safety

Chemical products are a demanding business, not only because of high stakeholder expectations but also due to tight regulations. Product safety and responsible supply chain management are therefore an inseparable part of our daily operations.

For Kemira, the environmental sector is a growing field of competence of major strategical significance. Chemicals and related services play a crucial role in protecting the environment and in the fostering of health and safety.

In addition to product safety, an excellent health and safety performance is a prerequisite for our business success. We believe that all accidents can be prevented and are committed to improve our performance continually. Compliance with safety regulations is a minimum requirement in all Kemira Group companies.

Visible leadership commitment and involvement of all employees is the key success factor in guaranteeing safety.
