Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) Policy

Our Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) policy calls for us to exhibit behaviors and values that reflect the highest value we place on avoiding harm to people, the environment and the communities in which we operate. It applies to all new88 employees and contractors and all new88 business activities.

Purpose

At new88, health, safety, and environmental responsibility are core values, which means we always act and operate in a way that prevents harm to people, the environment, and the communities in which we operate.

We expect all our employees and contractors to conduct themselves at all times in alignment with the values, commitments, and principles in this policy.

This HSE Policy should be read in conjunction with the Responsible Care Policy, which defines new88’s HSE and security-related commitments to stakeholders and the management system elements that enable continuous improvement in HSE and security performance.

Scope

This includes all new88 companies and subsidiaries, and affiliates and joint ventures (JVs) in which a new88 company or subsidiary owns a majority interest or has operational control.

Goal

At new88, we are driven to ensure that no harm comes from our actions to people, the environment, or the communities in which we operate.

Values and Commitments

• Health, safety, and environmental responsibility are core values at new88 and integral in all that we do.
• Compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and new88 policies is a license to operate for our employees, contractors, suppliers, and partners. 
• HSE ownership through visible, demonstrated leadership across the organization.
• Collaboration with our employees, the industry, and other professional associations to continuously improve HSE performance.

HSE Principles

At new88 we believe that:

• All incidents and injuries are preventable.
• HSE is a line management accountability.
• We are responsible for our own safety and that of others around us.
• Our employees and contractors are obliged to stop a job or refuse to perform it, if it cannot be performed safely.
• All HSE incidents must be reported, and learnings taken from them.
• Our commitment to, and efforts in, HSE will yield results.
• Acting safely is a condition of our employment and supplier contracts.

We expect our employees, contractors, and partners to embrace these principles and reflect them in every aspect of work they perform.

This policy is integral to new88’s business strategy. Executive leadership is committed to the full implementation of this HSE policy.
