Morgan Crucible’s Environmental, Health and Safety Policy requires high standards of EHS management at all of Morgan Crucible’s facilities and seeks to provide continuous improvement in environmental, health and safety performance in support of our strategic priorities.

The purpose of our EHS Policy is:

• To maintain a safe working environment for staff, contractors and visitors across all Morgan Crucible companies worldwide (‘the Group’).
• To minimise the impact of the Group’s activities on the environment.
• To confirm the Group’s commitment to excellence and continuous improvement in Environmental, Health and Safety (‘EHS’) performance.

All employees have responsibility for EHS Policy and related matters:

• The Chief Executive Officer has overall accountability for corporate responsibility matters. 
• The Chief Financial Officer is responsible for EHS Policy, strategic direction and performance monitoring. 
• The Chief Executive of each of the Group’s Divisions has responsibility for EHS performance and reporting within their respective business and for implementing this policy and ensuring compliance. 
• The manager of each operation has operational responsibility for EHS.
• Employees at all levels are responsible for implementing EHS rules and guidance, avoiding potential and actual hazards, for warning others accordingly and for identifying opportunities for improvement.

It is the Group’s EHS Policy that all businesses:

• Comply with EHS legislation, regulations and other applicable legal requirements as a minimum standard.
• Conduct operations so as to prevent pollution and reduce the risk of injury or ill-health.
• Include EHS and climate change related considerations in our business decisions, promote resource and efficiency programmes across the Group and minimise the environmental impact of historic, current and future operations.
• Supply products that, when used in compliance with product safety communications and common safety practices, will not present an unacceptable risk to human health and safety.
• Assess and minimise the environmental impact of the Group’s products during design, manufacture, and use and on disposal.
• Set objectives and targets for the continuous improvement of EHS performance and monitor and report progress internally and externally as appropriate.
• Ensure competence in EHS matters through training and education at all levels of the organisation.
• Conduct periodic reviews of the Group’s Environmental and Health & Safety management systems.
• Maintain communications with stakeholders on EHS matters to help ensure alignment with their needs and expectations.
• Encourage our business partners to adopt this same accountability.

The Policy applies to all Group companies worldwide. Our businesses are required to ensure that they are aware of and take account of national, regional and local EHS laws and regulations and best practice, including that set out in the Morgan Crucible EHS Good Management Practice Manual.

In addition to Morgan Crucible’s Group-wide EHS Policy, our operations have supplementary environmental and health and safety policies, key performance indicators and targets where necessary according to the risks, opportunities and needs of each particular business.
